New publication by Guido Barchiesi and colleagues, where MEG is used as a whole head myographic recorder: https://doi.org/10.1111/psyp.13507 Results confirm the utility of head magnetomyography (hMMG) as a whole head electromyographic recorder to quantify muscular activation patterns including muscular regions that are typically not recorded with EMG. This key advantage beyond conventional EMG has substantial […]

Two articles were released on the Austrian news platform APA Science! The first one is about the PNAS publication “Prestimulus feedback connectivity biases the content of visual experiences” by Elie Rassi, Andreas Wutz, Nadia Müller-Voggel and Nathan Weisz: https://science.apa.at/rubrik/medizin_und_biotech/Ich_seh_etwas_was_du_nicht_siehst/SCI_20191029_SCI39451352251403658 The second one describes the Nature Communications publication “Automatic and feature-specific prediction-related neural activity in the […]

The FFR is seen as a noninvasive proxy for brainstem activity. This Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab study shows that while brainstem contributes to the FFR, attentional modulations are cortical: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116185

Published in Nature Communications: Gianpaolo Demarchi et al. showing prediction-related tone-frequency specific (pre-)activations in the auditory system: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11440-1

Article by Rassi et al. describes how to set up an experiment that allows detecting pre-stimulus source-level influences on object perception using magnetoencephalography (MEG). It covers stimulus material, experimental design, MEG recording, and data analysis: http://dx.doi.org/10.3791/60120 Detecting Pre-Stimulus Source-Level Effects on Object Perception with Magnetoencephalography

New preprint by our PhD student Nina Suess that shows different entrainment patterns for primary sensory areas and the dorsal attention network dependent on selective attention: https://doi.org/10.1101/697615

New pre-print by our PhD student Moritz Köhler shows how alternating attentional states affect the cochlear receptor and how these changes are linked to cortical dynamics: https://doi.org/10.1101/653311

The FFR is seen as a noninvasive proxy for brainstem activity. This Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab study shows that while brainstem contributes to the FFR, attentional modulations are cortical: https://doi.org/10.1101/633834
