Randomized Controlled Trial
The alteration of spontaneous low frequency oscillations caused by acute electromagnetic fields exposure.
The motivation of this study is to evaluate the possible alteration of regional resting state brain activity induced by the acute radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure (30min) of Long Term Evolution (LTE) signal. ⋯ With resting state fMRI, we found the alteration of spontaneous low frequency fluctuations induced by the acute LTE RF-EMF exposure.

A machine learning approach using EEG data to predict response to SSRI treatment for major depressive disorder.
The problem of identifying, in advance, the most effective treatment agent for various psychiatric conditions remains an elusive goal. To address this challenge, we investigate the performance of the proposed machine learning (ML) methodology (based on the pre-treatment electroencephalogram (EEG)) for prediction of response to treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication in subjects suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD). ⋯ The proposed approach offers the potential to improve the treatment of major depression and to reduce health care costs.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Action of 5 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on sensory, motor and autonomic function in human spinal cord injury.
To assess the effectiveness of physiological outcome measures in detecting functional change in the degree of impairment of spinal cord injury (SCI) following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the sensorimotor cortex. ⋯ Electrophysiological measures may provide a useful adjunct to ASIA impairment scales.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Improving working memory: exploring the effect of transcranial random noise stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
The aim of this study was to determine if working memory (WM) performance is significantly improved after the delivery of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), compared to an active comparator or sham. ⋯ Anodal tDCS may have significant implications for WM remediation in psychiatric conditions, particularly schizophrenia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Use of swLORETA to localize the cortical sources of target- and distracter-elicited P300 components.
Cognitive event-related potentials (especially P300) have long been used to explore attentional processes. The aim of this study was to identify the cortical areas involved in P300 generation during a selective attention task. ⋯ Our data agree with the literature reports using other methods and should help to improve our knowledge of the cerebral networks underlying attentional processes.
