Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on neurophysiological correlates of performance monitoring in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
To examine whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) would enhance attenuated amplitudes of event-related potentials (ERPs) indexing performance monitoring biomarkers of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ⋯ MBCT suggests having comparable modulation on performance monitoring ERP amplitudes as pharmacological treatments. Further study and development of MBCT as a treatment for ADHD is warranted, in addition to its potential scope for clinical applicability to broader defined externalising disorders and clinical problems associated with impairments of the prefrontal cortex.

Controlled Clinical Trial
Multimodal assessment of primary motor cortex integrity following sport concussion in asymptomatic athletes.
Recent studies have shown, in asymptomatic concussed athletes, metabolic disruption in the primary motor cortex (M1) and abnormal intracortical inhibition lasting for more than six months. The present study aims to assess if these neurochemical and neurophysiological alterations are persistent and linked to M1 cortical thickness. ⋯ The present study highlights the importance of multimodal assesments of the impacts of sport concussions.

In a previous study we proposed a robust method for automatic seizure detection in scalp EEG recordings. The goal of the current study was to validate an improved algorithm in a much larger group of patients in order to show its general applicability in clinical routine. ⋯ The algorithm is a valuable tool for fast and effective screening of long-term scalp EEG recordings.
