La presente tesis doctoral aborda dos objetivos fundamentales. Por un lado se trata de explorar que ocurre con el contenido espectral del electroencefalograma EEG durante un paradigma de atención espacial. Esto se debe al hecho de que habitualmente se realizan estudios con potenciales evocados ERPs que valoran las modulaciones en el dominio del...

Introducción: Comprender las alteraciones en la anatomía y función del cerebro en los procesos cognitivos para las enfermedades neurodegenerativas es aún un desafío para la neurociencia actual. Desde la neurociencia experimental algunos test computarizados han sido desarrollados para mejorar nuestro conocimiento de las redes neurales...

The purpose of this review is to present information from different experiments that supports the proposal that brain systems are able to predict, in a short-term interval, certain characteristics about the next incoming stimuli. This ability allows the subject to be ready for the stimuli and be more...

Se han asociado diversos mecanismos psicológicos con modulaciones de diferentes frecuencias de EEG. Según nuestro conocimiento, existen pocos estudios sobre la fiabilidad test-retest de estas modulaciones en el cerebro humano. Para evaluar las confiabilidades alfa evocadas e inducidas relacionadas con el procesamiento cognitivo, los datos de...

Currently, there is scarce knowledge about the relation between spectral bands modulations and the basis of cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS). In this sense, analyzing the evoked or phase activity can confirm results from traditional event-related potential (ERP) studies. However, studying the induced or nonphase activity may be...

The neurocognitive consequences of correct or incorrect spatial prediction in a sequential S1–S2 paradigm were assessed. Sequential dependence on previous trial outcome (valid or invalid) was assessed by late Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) and behavioural responses. Two different experiments were performed, situating the target in the vertical...

Introducción: La aplicación de la inteligencia artificial y en particular de algoritmos de aprendizaje automático o «machine learning» (ML) constituye un desafío y al mismo tiempo una gran oportunidad en diversas disciplinas científicas, técnicas y clínicas. Las aplicaciones específicas en el estudio de la esclerosis múltiple (EM) no han sido...

Recent studies have suggested that nonphase-locked activity can reveal cognitive mechanisms that cannot be observed in phase-locked activity. In fact, we describe a concomitant decrease in nonphase-locked alpha activity (desynchronization) when stimuli were processed (alpha phase-locked modulation). This desynchronization may represent a...

The aim of this study was to describe the spectral features of pre-stimulus event-related potential (ERP) components elicited in visual tasks such as the Bereitschaftspotential (BP), prefrontal negativity (pN) and visual negativity (vN). ERPs are considered time-locked and phase-locked (evoked) activity, but we have also analyzed the non-phase...

Aging raises a social and health challenge because the passing of time causes changes in cognitive and physical functions that impair functionality and quality of life. In addition, advancements in technology and information technology have led to the development of new techniques for retraining based on the feedback technology provides. To...

The contingent negative variation (CNV), and the associated event-related desynchronization (ERD) on motor areas and sensory areas, and increase of alpha in the ipsilateral to the cued stimulus side, are different brain signals that reflect motor, sensory, and cognitive activations related to the expectancy of the next stimulus. However, the...
