中文简介:
最近在计算机硬件和软件方面的进展使得功能磁共振成像数据的实时分析成为可能,包括“大脑解读”。方法如多元模式分析。先进的在线fMRI数据分析为脑-机接口(BCI)应用提供了基础,如神经反馈和独立于电机的通信。在神经反馈研究中,受试者在进行fMRI测量时观察并学习如何调节自己的大脑活动。许多神经反馈研究已经证明,经过足够的实践,受试者确实能够学会使用脑力任务来调节特定大脑区域或网络中的大脑活动。这些结果对基础神经科学研究很重要,因为它们可以研究大脑调节自身活动的程度,并有可能解开迄今未知的大脑区域的功能。除了基本的研究应用外,我们最近发现功能性核磁共振成像神经反馈可能成为一种有价值的治疗工具,可以帮助帕金森病和情绪障碍(如抑郁症)患者。此外,我们还证明了参与者所引发的激活模式是可以被解码的。并在网上被解释为字母表中的字母,为有严重运动障碍的人提供了书写障碍的可能性。字母完全由心理意象控制。为了让患有严重运动障碍的患者能够在床边使用开发出来的通讯工具,我们目前将我们的方法转移到功能性近红外光谱(fNIRS),它与功能性核磁共振成像(fMRI)一样,可以测量血流动力学脑信号。最后,我们将展示来自超高场fMRI测量(7台特斯拉扫描仪)的最新结果,这些测量能够实现亚毫米功能空间分辨率,能够在皮层柱和皮层层水平上破解大脑特定区域内的表征代码。这些新的可能性对于提高我们对大脑组织的知识是极其重要的,但它们也将支持更多特定于内容的BCI应用程序。
课程简介: Recent progress in computer hard- and software allows the sophisticated analysis of fMRI data in real-time including "brain reading" methods such as multivariate pattern analysis. Advanced online fMRI data analysis provides the basis for brain-computer Interface (BCI) applications such as neurofeedback and motor-independent communication. In neurofeedback studies, subjects observe and learn to modulate their own brain activity during an ongoing fMRI measurement. Many neurofeedback studies have demonstrated that with sufficient practice, subjects are indeed able to learn to modulate brain activity in specific brain areas or networks using mental tasks. These results are important for basic neuroscience research, because they allow to study the degree to which the brain can modulate its own activity and to potentially unravel the function of hitherto unknown brain areas. Besides basic research applications, we have recently shown that fMRI neurofeedback may become a valuable therapeutic tool to help patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and mood disorders such as depression. Furthermore, we have shown that activation patterns evoked by participants can be ‘decoded’ and interpreted online as letters of the alphabet offering the possibility for people with severe motor impairments to ‘write’ letters purely controlled by mental imagery. In order to allow patients with severe motor impairments to use the developed communication tool at the bedside, we currently transfer our approach to functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) that, like fMRI, measures hemodynamic brain signals. Finally we will present recent results from ultra-high field fMRI measurements (7 Tesla scanners) that achieve sub-millimeter functional spatial resolution allowing to crack the representational code within specialized brain areas at the level of cortical columns and cortical layers. These new possibilities are extremely important to advance our knowledge of brain organization but they will also enable more content-specific BCI applications.
