“…Moreover, greater positive mood has been shown to be positively associated with greater words produced during a phonemic fluency task in young and middle-aged adults (Phillips, Bull, Adams, & Fraser, 2002). These data, along with Gray (2001), integrate previous research that found increased left hemisphere activation both during verbal fluency tasks and during positive mood states, and greater right hemisphere activation during figural fluency tasks and negative mood states (Allen & Kline, 2004;Audenart et al, 2000;Billingsley et al, 2004;Butler et al, 1993;Cacioppo, 2004;Cuenod et al, 1995;Davidson, 1998;Davidson, 2001;Heller, 1993;Heller et al, 1997;Herrington et al, 2005;Jackson et al, 2003;Laine, 1998;Lee et al, 2004;Perret, 1974;Schlosser et al, 1998).…”

“…Specifically, results of electroencephalographic (EEG) studies of hemispheric asymmetry and emotion have consistently found greater cerebral activation in the left hemisphere relative to activation in the right during positive mood states (Allen & Kline, 2004;Cacioppo, 2004;Davidson, 3 Eckman, Saron, Senulis, & Friesen, 1990;Davidson, 1998;Davidson, 2001a;Heller, 1993;Heller, Nitschke, & Lindsay, 1997;Heller, Nitschke, & Miller, 1998;Herrington et al, 2005;Jackson et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2004). Alternatively, findings have shown relative greater activation in the right hemisphere compared to activation in the left during negative mood states Lee et al, 2004).…”

“…That is, evidence suggests that left frontal activation occurs during PA (Allen & Kline, 2004;Cacioppo, 2004;Davidson, Eckman, Saron, Senulis, & Friesen, 1990;Davidson, 1998;Davidson, 2001a;Heller, 1993;Heller, Nitschke, & Lindsay, 1997;Heller, Nitschke, & Miller, 1998;Herrington et al, 2005;Jackson et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2004), as well as during verbal fluency task performance (Butler et al, 1993;Cuenod et al, 1995;Laine, 1988;Perret, 1974). Thus, associations between PA and verbal fluency could be due to increased activation of overlapping cortical areas.…”

“…Davidson and Fox, 1989;Henriques and Davidson, 1997), has attracted considerable interest in research on frontal EEG asymmetry and affect in both healthy and psychiatric populations (e.g. Allen and Kline, 2004). The field of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology provides convincing evidence for the utility of a targeted, regional approach to qEEG (Babiloni et al, 2001;Cincotti et al, 2003;Pfurtscheller, 2003;Pineda et al, 2003;Wolpaw and McFarland, 1994), since only stable, reliable EEG changes are suitable as a response interface for neurologically impaired patients.…”

Objective: Definition of appropriate frequency bands and choice of recording reference limit the interpretability of quantitative EEG, which may be further compromised by distorted topographies or inverted hemispheric asymmetries when employing conventional (non-linear) power spectra. In contrast, fPCA factors conform to the spectral structure of empirical data, and a surface Laplacian (2-dimensional CSD) simplifies topographies by minimizing volume-conducted activity. Conciseness and interpretability of EEG and CSD fPCA solutions were compared for three common scaling methods. Methods: Resting EEG and CSD (30 channels, nose reference, eyes open/closed) from 51 healthy and 93 clinically-depressed adults were simplified as power, log power, and amplitude spectra, and summarized using unrestricted, Varimax-rotated, covariance-based fPCA. Results: Multiple alpha factors were separable from artifact and reproducible across subgroups. Power spectra produced numerous, sharplydefined factors emphasizing low frequencies. Log power spectra produced fewer, broader factors emphasizing high frequencies. Solutions for amplitude spectra showed optimal intermediate tuning, particularly when derived from CSD rather than EEG spectra. These solutions were topographically distinct, detecting multiple posterior alpha generators but excluding the dorsal surface of the frontal lobes. Instead a low alpha/theta factor showed a secondary topography along the frontal midline. Conclusions: CSD amplitude spectrum fPCA solutions provide simpler, reference-independent measures that more directly reflect neuronal activity. Significance: A new quantitative EEG approach affording spectral components is developed that closely parallels the concept of an ERP component in the temporal domain.

Background/AimsNausea, an unpleasant symptom of diabetic gastroparesis (DMGP), has been reported to be alleviated by needleless transcutaneous electrical acupuncture (TEA). Our study was designed to utilize electroencephalography (EEG) and electrogastrography (EGG) recordings to investigate the central and peripheral responses of TEA in the treatment of nausea in DMGP patients. MethodsEleven DMGP subjects underwent simultaneous EEG and EGG testing while grading the severity of nausea following 30-minute intervals of: (1) baseline, (2) visual stimulation (VS) to provoke more nausea, (3) active VS together with TEA, and (4) TEA alone, and a final 15-minute recording without any intervention. ResultsThe nausea score was increased to 5.9 ± 1.5 with VS (P < 0.05, vs 3.5 ± 1.0 at baseline), then reduced to 3.5 ± 1.2 with VS plus TEA, and to 2.5 ± 1.3 with TEA alone, while it continued at a score of 2.9 ± 1.0 post TEA (all significant, P < 0.05, vs VS without TEA). The mean percentage of normal gastric slow waves was decreased to 60.0 ± 5.7% with VS (P < 0.05, vs 66.6 ± 4.5% at baseline), then improved to 69.2 ± 4.8% with VS plus TEA, and maintained at 70 ± 3.6% with TEA alone. During initial VS, EEG signals showed right inferior frontal activity as the prominent finding, but during VS with TEA, left inferior frontal activity predominated. ConclusionsIn DMGP, TEA improves gastric dysrhythmia and ameliorates nausea. TEA treatment of nausea provoked by VS resulted in a change of dominance from right to left inferior frontal lobe activity. These data provide new understandings of peripheral and central mechanisms for nausea, and potential future directions for DMGP treatment approaches.
