Lehmann, Dietrich; Wackermann, Jiri; Michel, Christoph M.; Koenig, Thomas (1993). Space–oriented EEG segmentation reveals changes in brain electric–field maps under the influence of a nootropic drug. Psychiatry research: Neuroimaging, 50(4), pp. 275-282. Elsevier 10.1016/0925-4927(93)90005-3
Full text not available from this repository.Map landscape-based segmentation of the sequences of momentary potential distribution maps (42-channel recordings) into brain microstates during spontaneous brain activity was used to study brain electric field spatial effects of single doses of piracetam (2.9, 4.8, and 9.6 g Nootropil® UCB and placebo) in a double-blind study of five normal young volunteers. Four 15-second epochs were analyzed from each subject and drug condition. The most prominent class of microstates (covering 49% of the time) consisted of potential maps with a generally anterior-posterior field orientation. The map orientation of this microstate class showed an increasing clockwise deviation from the placebo condition with increasing drug doses (Fisher's probability product, p < 0.014). The results of this study suggest the use of microstate segmentation analysis for the assessment of central effects of medication in spontaneous multichannel electroencephalographic data, as a complementary approach to frequency-domain analysis.
