The author reviews the use of operant conditioning to alter electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns. A discrete rhythmic EEG pattern directly related to modulation of motor patterns (sensorimotor rhythm, SMR) was brought under voluntary control in the cat. This technique was modified for use in epileptic human volunteers in order to reduce motor seizures. The use of a newer experimental design and its successful application in one subject is described.
作者回顾了操作性条件反射在改变脑电图(EEG)模式方面的应用。一种与运动模式调制直接相关的离散节律性脑电图模式(感觉运动节律,SMR)在猫身上实现了自主控制。该技术经改进后用于癫痫患者志愿者,以减少运动性癫痫发作。文中描述了一种更新的实验设计及其在一名受试者身上的成功应用。
