Hemispheric asymmetry is known for higher brain functions like language and attention. We tested whether such an asymmetry also exists in the representation of elementary sensory functions. Magnetic source imaging was used to compare the cortical somatose
The somatosensory system is capable of functional reorganization following peripheral denervation or training. Studies on human amputees with phantom limb pain provided evidence that these reorganizational changes are modulated through nociceptive input.
The Brain Research Group is part of the Low Temperature Laboratory at Helsinki University of Technology. Our goal is to characterize human brain functions by means of multichannel magnetoencephalograpic (MEG) recordings. Magnetic signals, mainly arising f
This study employed whole head magnetoencephalography and synthetic aperture magnetometry to investigate the cortical topography of the preparation and the execution of volitional and reflexive water swallowing and of a simple tongue movement. Concerning
