Results: The results of the analyses imply that BP and body mass can cause between-subject and between-group variability in the BOLD-signal and that all the included factors can affect the underlying connectivity.

fNIRS åpner opp for ny hjerneforskning på UiB

En mobil og bærbar hjernescanner kan måle funksjoner og områder i hjernen mens personen bærer utstyret på kroppen. Det åpner for helt nye muligheter både innen grunnforskning, klinisk forskning og opplæring.

“Mickey Mousing” in the Brain: Motion-Sound Synesthesia and the Subcortical Substrate of Audio-Visual Integration

Motion-sound synesthesia is characterized by illusory auditory sensations linked to the pattern and rhythms of motion (dubbed “Mickey Mousing” as in cinema) of visually experienced but soundless object, like an optical flow array, a ball bouncing or a horse galloping. In an MRI study with a grou...

New article by prof. Karsten Specht:

Translational neuroscience is an important field that brings together clinical praxis with neuroscience methods. In this review article, the focus will be on functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and its applicability in clinical fMRI studies. In the light of the “replication crisis,” three aspects wil...

New article by Kjetil Vikene et al.:

Compensatory task-specific hypersensitivity in bilateral planum temporale and right superior temporal gyrus during auditory rhythm and omission processing in Parkinson’s disease

Link:

Persons with Parkinson’s disease have general timing deficits and have difficulties in rhythm discrimination tasks. The basal ganglia, a crucial part of Parkinson’s disease pathology, is believed to play an important role in rhythm and beat processing, with a possible modulation of basal ganglia...
