A seizure was considered as having an SP shift when the slow potential waveform was > 1.5 sec in duration and > 100 microV in amplitude. Seizures were obtained from 5 subjects; 4 underwent epilepsy surgery (3=Engel I, 1=Engel II) and one received VNS. SP shift duration, peak voltage and polarity were measured for each seizure.

The effect of the interfering noise was interpreted as (1) reset of the ASSR because of a sudden loss in phase coherence, (2) a decrease in signal power immediately after presentation of the noise impulse, and (3) a modulation of ASSR amplitude and phase resembling the time course of the ASSR onset. The time-course of the ASSR onset was interpreted as reflecting temporal integration over several 100 ms.

DC magnetic fields from the human body generally: a historical overview. 直流磁场一般来自人体:历史概述。

{"title":"DC magnetic fields from the human body generally: a historical overview.","authors":"D Cohen","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>A review is presented of the earliest dc magnetic field (dcMF) measurements, made between 1969 and 1983, due to natural currents in the body. The measurements were essentially a mapping over the whole body, except for the brain (dcMEG), which was omitted because of interfering non-neural sources in the head. This mapping can be useful today in interpreting new measurements over the body, especially dcMEG data, where the new authors assume only a neural source in the head; our mapping suggests that this assumption may be in error. Briefly, in our mapping, dcMFs were found over almost the entire body; they were larger over the limbs and head than over the torso proper except over the abdomen, where it was usually the largest in the body Some of the sources were: 1. A strong and complicated reflex in the abdomen due to drinking cold water, suggesting that other dcMF reflexes might be common in the body. 2. Long muscle fibers in the limbs, suggesting sources also in scalp muscles. 3. Hair follicles due to touching the scalp; these sources could also exist, unrecognized, in recent dcMEG whole-head measurements. 4. Injury currents from the ischemic human heart, suggesting dcMFs could arise from injured muscle in the body generally. One major mechanism for producing dcMFs appeared to be a change in the potassium ion concentration in the vicinity of long excitable fibers. Overall, we concluded that the dcMFs were complicated, and it may be difficult to identify each source, especially in the head.</p>","PeriodicalId":83814,"journal":{"name":"Neurology & clinical neurophysiology : NCN","volume":"2004 ","pages":"93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25184018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is mounted in a Cryostat BFH-7 model 16 with 5 mm \"warm\"-\"cold\" distance. System noise is about 10 fT/Hz1/2. The fMEG and fMCG were recorded between 29 - 40 weeks of gestation after sonographic localization of the fetal head and heart using a 31-channel biomagnetometer (Philips) and the 3-channel-system, both in the same magnetically shielded room.
