Research ArticleOpen accessMotor Imagery and Stroke Neurorehabilitation: An Overview of Basic Concepts and Therapeutic EffectsAmanda Lopes Abbas, Marina Fortuna Lucas, Silmar Teixeira et al.Problem statement: Motor Imagery (MI), which corresponds to an active process during which the representation of a specific action is internally reproduced into working memory without any motor output. It represents the result of conscious access to the content of a movement intention, which is usually performed unconsciously during movement preparation. Approach: This review study aims to provide information on … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 21 Jan 2012 · 7,595 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessImproved Application of Paraconsistent Artificial Neural Networks in Diagnosis of Alzheimer's DiseaseHelder F.S. Lopes, Jair M. Abe, Paulo A.M. Kanda et al.Problem statement: The visual analysis of Electroencephalogram (EEG) activity has shown useful as a complementary tool in Alzheimer Disease (AD diagnosis) when the diagnosis remains uncertain, in addition to be used in some clinical protocols. However, this analysis is subject to the inherent equipment imprecision, biological artifact, electrical records, and subjective physician interpretation of the visual analysis variation. The Artificial … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Oct 2011 · 12,068 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Dystonia: An OverviewSergio Machado, Oscar Arias-Carrion, Flávia Paes et al.Problem statement: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive procedure whereby a pulsed magnetic field stimulates electrical activity in the brain. Dystonia is characterized by several disabling symptoms for which effective, mechanism-based treatments remain elusive. Approach: Consequently, more advanced non-invasive therapeutic methods were required. A possible method to modulate brain activity and potentially viable for use in clinical practice … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2011 · 10,035 accessesView PDF Cite
