  5. Wikimedia Reminder: EEG Ward et al. 2003 • Measures electrical potential differences between electrodes placed on the scalp. • The signal is mainly affected by radial extra-cellular currents near cohorts of cortical neurons. 1-100 μV amplitudes, resolution of centimeters and milliseconds. • Asynchronous activity cancels out. A small number of synchronously firing neurons may dominate the overall resulting signal. • ~1/f spectral distribution. Peaks during wakefulness at ~10 Hz (α), ~20 Hz (β), ~40 Hz (γ) and ~6 Hz (θ). Varies among individuals. • Exhibits developmental changes through infancy and childhood. • Many cognitive tasks elicit consistent variations in EEG spectral power distribution. Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG Wikimedia

  6. EEG & MEG Jargon • Synchronization - An amplitude enhancement at a given frequency band. • Spontaneous activity – Pre-stimulus activity. • Evoked response - Change in frequency band power that is both time-locked and phase locked to a given stimulus or event. • Induced response – A change in frequency band power that is time-locked to the stimulus, but jitters in phase between trials (Arieli et al.). The induced activity is usually not revealed by traditional averaging techniques. • Ongoing (‘undriven’) activity - Post-stimulus activity that is not time-locked to the stimulus. • At present, the extent to which stimulus locking and amplitude changes reflect distinct processes remains unclear. Rizzuto et al. 2003 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG Mazaheri & Jensen 2005

  7. “… most subjects reported form (stars or stripes) and color (blue, red or purple) illusions at frequencies around 10-15 Hz”. (…) “The observed hallucinations could be due to the oscillating SSVEP propagating across retinotopic areas of visual cortex. One area then is successively excited and inhibited, thus leading to hallucinations. This phenomenon is known from certain kinds of epilepsies and has been simulated in mathematical models (Tass 1995, 1997). Some of our subjects were retrospectively shown the hallucinations calculated by Tass (1995) and reported them to be identical to the ones observed.” – Herrmann 2000 Herrmann 2000 (Rotated) Historical glance Ross et al. 2000 Steady State Response • 1981 Galambos et al. first report 40 Hz Auditory Steady State Response.

  12. Found in numerous nonlinear systems. Found in sensory receptors. Affects psychophysical performance (visual, auditory, somatosensory, vestibular). Used behaviourally (sparse evidence). Theoretically modeled with intrinsic and extrinsic noise. No clear mechanism. Induced by numerous periodic signals. Interacts with spontaneous activity. Similar spectrogram across modalities (visual, auditory, somatosensory). Might induce transient hallucinations (common) or seizures (rare). No clear mechanism. 2002 Status Summary Stochastic Resonance Steady State Response • 2002 Mori & Kai – Stochastic Resonance demonstrated in SSVER Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  13. Experimental setup – 1/2 • 3x3 cm2 LED screen, 15 cm from the eyes. • Stimulus parameters: • Illuminance: 0.04 cd/m2(vs. 10-20 cd/m2 by Takahashi & Tsukahara 1998) • Pulse width: 100 μsec • Repetition rate: 5 Hz • 10 iterations of (10 sec. stimulation + 20 sec. rest) Mori & Kai PRL 2002 Wikimedia Mori & Kai J. Bifur. 2002 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  14. Experimental setup – 2/2 • Noise bandpassed at 15-60 Hz. • Noise always presented to the left eye. • EEG recording filtered: • 100-order LPF • Cutoff frequency fc = 25 Hz • 40 dB/Octave attenuation • FFT parameters: • Rectangular window • 4096 positions (8.192 seconds) • 0.12 Hz resolution Mori & Kai PRL 2002 Mori & Kai PRL 2002 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  15. Binocular entrainment • The “entrainment” concept is ill-defined in general. • The same setup was also used for entrainment using binocular flicker stimulus. • Note Activity at occipital (bottom) electrode site. Mori & Kai 2001 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  16. Setting the weak stimulus • Flicker alone at right eye. • Note heavy signal filtration (fc = 25 Hz, -40 dB/Octave, 100-order LPF). • Irradiance of weak stimulus set to non-entraining 30 μW/cm2 • This irradiance is >100 times weaker than reported by Takahashi & Tsukahara 1998 Mori & Kai PRL 2002 Mori & Kai J. Bifur. 2002 Spontaneous 10.7 Hz activity at O1 Evoked by 10.5 Hz flicker Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  17. Response Dynamics • SSVER first observed over occipital electrode sites, within ~200 milliseconds. • Frontal-Occipital phase inversion. Harada et al. 1991 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  18. Response Dynamics • SSVER first observed over occipital electrode sites. • Frontal-Occipital phase inversion. Harada et al. 1991 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  19. Birca et al. 2006 Preferential entrainment frequency • The preferential entrainment frequency is different than the spontaneous alpha frequency. • This finding is later corroborated by Birca et al. over 41 children and 10 adults. • No consistent relationship found between the spontaneous and entrainment frequencies. Nouha et al. 2001 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  20. Noise-induced entrainment • Noise-induced entrainment was demonstrated both using a 5 Hz stimulus and using a 10 Hz stimulus. • Occipital dominance preserved. Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG Nouha et al. 2001

  21. Mori & Kai 2004 Harmonic Entrainment • Different papers give somewhat different reasons for using harmonic entrainment: • “Fundamental entrainment is often sensitive to uncontrollable factors such as the subject’s mental and physical conditions (e.g. stress) at the moment of testing, while harmonic entrainment is rather insensitive.” – Mori & Kai J. Bifur. 2002 • “When a periodic stimulus with a period close to that of the α-wave is applied, entrainment at the fundamental frequency is easily produced by a slight change of the physical or mental conditions, even if the stimulus is weak. Consequently, we investigate entrainment at the harmonic frequency, where the frequency is far from the α-wave frequency (fα) of the subject and entrainment is not easily induced by the above factors”. – Mori & Kai 2004 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG Mori & Kai J. Bifur. 2002

  22. Exhibition of Stochastic Resonance • Suggested to be a universal effect. • Only observed at occipital electrode sites (for a visual stimulus). • Error bars not shown. Mori & Kai J. Bifur. 2002 Mori & Kai UPonN 2002 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  23. So what’s missing in my opinion? • Mechanism • Inter-individual Variability • Significance • Data exclusion • Dynamics • Cognitive implication • Quantification Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  24. Mechanism? • “The optimum intensity of the noisy stimulus synchronizes more α oscillators in the human brain.” – Mori & Kai, PRL 2002 > Apparently, other methods than EEG are required to investigate the underlying mechanism. • “Thus, we bypass sensory organs and observe the SR in the visual cortex itself” – Mori & Kai, PRL 2002 > The cortical observations may stem from thalamic SR. This possibility is reflected in a later paper which puts it as: “a phenomenon produced in the visual information processing system following the optical chiasm”. – Mori & Kai 2004 Nouha et al. 2001 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  25. Variability? • “The fact that the optimal noise intensity In* differs among individuals (Fig. 10) indicates that the potential barrier of the oscillators differs among individuals. The fact that the spectral peak Pe* differs indicates that different numbers of oscillators are concerned with entrainment.” –Mori & Kai 2004 • However, the individual In*, Pe* are not provided in fig. 10 or elsewhere, except for subject S. (In* = 54.5 μW/cm2, Pe* = 51.9 μV2/sec) • Error bars only shown for subject S, earlier. RANDOMLY GENERATED “DATA” FOR DEMONSTRATION ONLY Mori & Kai 2004 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG Mori & Kai J. Bifur. 2002

  26. Reproducibility and Significance • 5 subjects (male, 22±2 years) • “We retested several of these subjects on subsequent days and obtained similar results. Although subjects are five in the present study, the obtained results therefore, have sufficient statistical significance.” – Mori & Kai J. Bifur. 2002 • However, statistical significance calculations are no where to be found, at least in English papers. • Such a strong effect has not been reproduced as yet (March 2008). Mori & Kai UPonN 2002 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  27. Data exclusion • “Starting point of the photic stimulus was at zero-cross point in the α-wave changing from a positive to negative value. The data out of this definition and the data due to falling into a sleep were excluded” – Mori & Kai, J. Bifur. 2002 • What portion of the data has been excluded for each of these reasons? • This exclusion is not mentioned in the corresponding PRL paper. Nouha et al. 2001 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  28. Spectral Dynamics? Skosnik et al. 2006 • Dynamics are not shown in this paper. • Older papers show some dynamics, but no time-frequency diagrams. • Only evoked activity is considered, while induced and ongoing activities may be of cognitive relevance as well. Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  29. Kitajo et al. 2003 What happened afterwards? • 2003 Kitajo et al. use a similar setup to demonstrate a mild but significant contribution of visual noise to psychophysical performance in a sensorimotor task. • 2007 Tanaka et al. report a weak SR in MEG 40 Hz ASSR – 3/9 amplitude, 3/9 phase, 3/9 null. Tanaka et al. 2007 Noise-induced Entrainment in Human EEG

  30. Highlights • First convincing evidence for occipital EEG entrainment by a weak visual stimulus, in the presence of visual noise. • Innovative methodology insures that SR also occurs beyond the sensory receptors. • Unclear mechanism. • Small sample size, significance not explicitly shown. • Not reproduced enough as yet. • Might explain the Dennō Senshi Porygon incident. • Unclear cognitive implication.
