    Human response inhibition, the ability to suppress pre-potent behavior that is inappropriate or that is no longer required, is essential for behavior aimed at everyday life goals. In recent decades, researchers have shown a greater interest in inhibiting the response. Response inhibition is considered an operationalization of certain aspects of impulsivity and compulsivity. Impulsivity is commonly defined as a tendency to act by impulses, acts performed immediately and without voluntary control, while compulsivity is the tendency to repeat a specific behavior and to be unable to inhibit the behavior even when it is no longer appropriate. Due to the importance of inhibiting the response in everyday life, many neuropsychological models have been developed to test inhibitory performance. In this experiment, subjects were asked to respond to a visual stimulus (i.e., a square or circular figure), but withheld this response to irrelevant stimuli (i.e., alarm sound). Therefore, in this study, we developed a new classification model of brain activities under response inhibition using functional connectivity. In this proposed model, we classified the electroencephalography (EEG) signals of successful-stop and failed-stop trials. In this study, we used parametric (LDA, QDA) and non-parametric (PARZENDC, KNNC) classification algorithms to investigate the accuracy of this system. First, the EEG signals acquired during the successful-stop and failed-stop trials, after that, we measured the functional connectivity between seven brain regions, included F3-F4, F4-O1, F4-T8, T7-O1, T7-T8, C3-CZ and C4CZ by phase-locked value (PLV) method. These seven regions of interest covered the entire human brain. These functional connectivity values were used as an input feature for the proposed classification model. Our novel classification system achieved 88% accuracy with QDA. These new findings revealed that this model can be considered to classify the EEG signals of successful-stop and failed-stop trials during response inhibition.

    Inherent fuzzy entropy is an objective measurement of electroencephalography (EEG) complexity reflecting the robustness of brain systems. In this study, we present a novel application of multiscale relative inherent fuzzy entropy using repetitive steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) to investigate EEG complexity change between two migraine phases, i.e., interictal (baseline) and preictal (before migraine attacks) phases. We used a wearable headband EEG device with O1, Oz, O2, and Fpz electrodes to collect EEG signals from 80 participants [40 migraine patients and 40 healthy controls (HCs)] under the following two conditions: During resting state and SSVEPs with five 15-Hz photic stimuli. We found a significant enhancement in occipital EEG entropy with increasing stimulus times in both HCs and patients in the interictal phase, but a reverse trend in patients in the preictal phase. In the 1st SSVEP, occipital EEG entropy of the HCs was significantly lower than that of patents in the preictal phase (FDR-adjusted p < 0.05). Regarding the transitional variance of EEG entropy between the 1st and 5th SSVEPs, patients in the preictal phase exhibited significantly lower values than patients in the interictal phase (FDR-adjusted p < 0.05). Furthermore, in the classification model, the AdaBoost ensemble learning showed an accuracy of 81 $ \pm $ 6 & x0025; and area under the curve of 0.87 for classifying interictal and preictal phases. In contrast, there were no differences in EEG entropy among groups or sessions by using other competing entropy models, including approximate entropy, sample entropy, and fuzzy entropy on the same dataset. In conclusion, inherent fuzzy entropy offers novel applications in visual stimulus environments and may have the potential to provide a preictal alert to migraine patients.

    An experimental design is programmed using the presentation tool to investigate the global response inhibition process by quantifying the parameters such as inhibition efficiency, stop-signal delay (SSD) and stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) in the stop-signal paradigm. The aim of this study is to explore the response inhibition mechanisms in the left-hand and right-hand responses by using ERP and ERSP results obtained from the EEG data of different subjects. The inhibition efficiency of the right-hand response and left-hand response appears to be independent of each other as there is no significant difference between them. From these results, the inhibition mechanisms corresponding to these two regions of the brain may be viewed as statistically independent processes. Further, we inferred that the response inhibition mechanisms for both left-hand and right-hand responses have approximately the same spectral power observation analysis and we conclude that these processes are statistically independent of each other.

    The traditional brain-computer interface (BCI) system measures the electroencephalography (EEG) signals by the wet sensors with the conductive gel and skin preparation processes. To overcome the limitations of traditional BCI system with conventional wet sensors, a wireless and wearable multi-channel EEG-based BCI system is proposed in this study, including the wireless EEG data acquisition device, dry spring-loaded sensors, a size-adjustable soft cap. The dry spring-loaded sensors are made of metal conductors, which can measure the EEG signals without skin preparation and conductive gel. In addition, the proposed system provides a size-adjustable soft cap that can be used to fit user's head properly. Indeed, the results are shown that the proposed system can properly and effectively measure the EEG signals with the developed cap and sensors, even under movement. In words, the developed wireless and wearable BCI system is able to be used in cognitive neuroscience applications.

    The present study investigated the brain dynamics accompanying spatial navigation based on distinct reference frames. Participants preferentially using an allocentric or an egocentric reference frame navigated through virtual tunnels and reported their homing direction at the end of each trial based on their spatial representation of the passage. Task-related electroencephalographic (EEG) dynamics were analyzed based on independent component analysis (ICA) and subsequent clustering of independent components. Parietal alpha desynchronization during encoding of spatial information predicted homing performance for participants using an egocentric reference frame. In contrast, retrosplenial and occipital alpha desynchronization during retrieval covaried with homing performance of participants using an allocentric reference frame. These results support the assumption of distinct neural networks underlying the computation of distinct reference frames and reveal a direct relationship of alpha modulation in parietal and retrosplenial areas with encoding and retrieval of spatial information for homing behavior.
