These parameters undergo selective inhibition within cortical areas, modulated by alpha oscillations. This study investigates how alpha band power influences microstate parameters across various task conditions, including resting state, actual motor execution, and imagined motor tasks. By comparing these three conditions, we aim to elucidate the distinct effects of alpha power on microstate dynamics, as each condition represents a unique pattern of brain activity. Motor imagery (MI) induces event-related desynchronization/synchronization, modulating Mu (alpha) and Beta rhythms in sensorimotor areas. However, the relationship between MI-EEG microstates and alpha power remains unclear. Our results show that alpha power was highest in resting state, followed by imagined motion, and lowest during actual motion. As alpha power increased, microstate A parameters in resting state (occurrence, coverage) decreased, while those in actual motion increased. Additionally, microstate B parameters rose with alpha power in resting state but decreased during imagined motion. Notably, alpha power correlated more strongly with microstate parameters in task states than in resting state. In addition, alpha, theta, and beta powers during task performance were negatively correlated with the duration of microstates A, B, and C, while being positively correlated with the occurrence of microstates A, B, C, and D. These findings suggest that alpha power influences microstate parameters differently depending on the brain, underscoring the significance of inter-band interactions in shaping microstate dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":50640,"journal":{"name":"Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously, the irreversible uptake kinetics improve drug concentrations in the tissue compartment, facilitating receptor-mediated endocytosis.

In automated arrhythmia detection, researchers have made significant progress in intra-patient paradigms. However, challenges persist in the inter-patient paradigm, where existing methods often rely on manually extracted features or exhibit inadequate performance in detecting anomalous categories. Against the above challenges, this paper proposes a neural network model based on Attention Pooling (AP) and Adaptive Multilevel Feature Fusion (AMFF) to enhance the performance for automatic detection of abnormal categories in the inter-patient paradigm. Among them, the attentional pooling mechanism enables the model to focus on the features of key channels and spatial locations, effectively reducing the influence of redundant information; to address the problem of ECG signal scale differences, we designed adaptive multilevel feature fusion (AMFF), which uses weighted multilevel features to achieve adaptive feature fusion and can utilize multilevel features at the same time, thus enhancing the feature expression capability of the model. Based on following the AAMI criteria, we evaluated the proposed model using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The results showed that the model achieved an overall accuracy of 99.32% in the intra-patient paradigm and 93.35% in the inter-patient paradigm. For the inter-patient paradigm, the model not only performs well in N-category classification but also achieves good results in the anomaly categories of S, V, and F.

Advancements in morphometric analyses have enabled evaluation of population-based shape variations as they relate to disease progression and deformity. Specifically, correspondence model-based shape analyses offer co-registered landmarks that address shape variability in joint structures and can be utilized for comparison of joint space measurements. This study proposes a method using correspondence models to perform group-wise statistical analyses in static or quasi-static positions during movement, offering a more comprehensive assessment of joint space variability. The primary objective was to verify and validate the measurement methods of a developed open-source toolbox. Testing was performed with surface meshes of varying edge length (0.5-, 1-, and 2-mm) and with different expected joint space distances (1- and 4-mm). Validation testing of accuracy revealed <1% error for 0.5- and 1-mm mesh edge lengths for 4 mm joint space, sensitivity testing demonstrated best results for 0.5 mm edge length, and repeatable/reliable measurements yielded low coefficient of variation and high intraclass correlation coefficient. These findings support the use of correspondence model-based approaches for robust and accurate analysis of joint measurements related to anatomical features. This method addresses limitations in traditional techniques by incorporating shape variability, providing a practical tool for assessing joint-level disease and deformity.
