Symptom Scores

Introduction: Symptoms associated with military-related traumatic stress (MTS) include insomnia, depression, anxiety, and impaired autonomic control. High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM®) is a noninvasive, closed-loop acoustic stimulation technology that identifies dominant brain frequencies and translates them in real time into audible tones of variable pitch and timing, to support self-optimization of brain activity. Objective: Evaluate changes in autonomic and symptoms scores after use of HIRREM in subjects enrolled in a pilot study for MTS. Methods: Thirty-two service members or Veterans (1 female), mean (SD) age 40.8 (6.4), with MTS symptoms for 7.3 years (3.9), received 19.2 (1.0) HIRREM sessions over 12 days. Continuous recordings of blood pressure and heart rate, for analysis of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate variability (HRV), were done at V1 and V2. Symptom inventories collected before (Visit 1, V1), immediately after (primary outcome, V2, n = 32), and at 1, 3, and 6 months after completion of HIRREM included traumatic stress (PCL-M), insomnia (ISI), depression (CES-D), and anxiety (GAD-7). Paired t-tests were performed. Results: HIRREM improved BRS measured as HF alpha (10.8 ms/mmHg, 2.5, p<0.001), Sequence Down (7.3 ms/mmHg, 2.1, p<0.001), Sequence Up (7.6 ms/mmHg, 2.4, p=0.001), and Sequence All (7.3 ms/mmHg, 1.8, p<0.001), as well as HRV; SDNN (14.1 ms, 3.6, p=0.005), rMSSD (12.8 ms, 2.6, p<0.05). MAP dropped 2.7 mmHg, 1.2, p<0.05 and SAP dropped 5.9 mmHg, 1.8, p=0.007. Mean symptom scores were reduced at V2; PCL-M [-12.9 (± 9.1), p<0.001], ISI [-6.3 (± 5.0), p<0.001], CES-D [-13.7 (±9.2), p<0.001], and GAD-7 [-6.7. (± 4.7), p<0.001]. Symptom scores improved 1-month post-HIRREM for all measures, and clinically relevant and significant benefits persist at 3 and 6 months. Conclusions: These results suggest improved autonomic cardiovascular regulation and statistically significant reduction in scales associated with the use of HIRREM for symptoms of MTS. Controlled trials could provide important insights regarding both the mechanisms associated with the beneficial effects of HIRREM, and the functional disturbances underlying MTS.

Objectives.The acute fasting-induced cardiovascular autonomic response and its effect on cognition and mood remain debatable. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to estimate the effect of a 48 h, zero-calorie diet on autonomic function, brain activity, cognition, and mood in amateur weight lifters.Methods.Nine participants completed a 48 h, zero-calorie diet program. Cardiovascular autonomic function, resting frontal brain activity, cognitive performance, and mood were evaluated before and after fasting.Results.Fasting decreased (p<0.05) weight, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure, whereas no changes were evident regarding any of the measured heart rate variability indices. Fasting decreased (p<0.05) the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin and improved (p<0.05) mental flexibility and shifting set, whereas no changes were observed in working memory, visuospatial discrimination, and spatial orientation ability. Fasting also increased (p<0.05) anger, whereas other mood states were not affected by it.Conclusions.48 h fasting resulted in higher parasympathetic activity and decreased resting frontal brain activity, increased anger, and improved prefrontal-cortex-related cognitive functions, such as mental flexibility and set shifting, in amateur weight lifters. In contrast, hippocampus-related cognitive functions were not affected by it.

The Relationship

In this section, research aim, problems and hypothesis with the methods and determined research results will be presented. This correlational design research that has been run on a sample of N=54 students in Croatia will be described. The main findings regarding the relationship between personality traits extraversion and evoked brain potentials will be presented. Personality traits that were explored are: extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, social desirability, addiction, criminality, empathy, impulsivity, adventurousness, strength of excitation, strength of inhibition, mobility, and depression. Latencies and amplitudes in two trials were investigated for the following evoked brain potentials: N1, P2, N2, P3, and Slow wave activity. Visual oddball paradigm was used for evoking brain activity measured on two occipital and two parietal electrodes. Results on controlled variables, such as: age, sight characteristics, coffee drinking, smoking, taking medications, alcohol and drug consumption, and body exercise, are introduced as well. The correlation analyses revealed a significant relationship between personality traits and evoked brain potentials, especially trait adventurousness and social desirability, due to a too simple and monotonous visual task that was use. The determined findings from the PCA factor analysis with Varimax rotation determined 15 factors that explained 79,611% of the total variance. Series of Hierarchical regression analyses for each personality trait individually revealed, as it was expected, certain visual evoked potentials as significant predictors.

Subjective Complexity

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), based on motor imagery, are increasingly used in neurorehabilitation. However, some people cannot control BCI, predictors of this are the features of brain activity and personality traits. It is not known whether the success of BCI control is related to interhemispheric asymmetry. The study was conducted on 44 BCI-naive subjects and included one BCI session, EEG-analysis, 16PF Cattell Questionnaire, estimation of latent left-handedness, and of subjective complexity of real and imagery movements. The success of brain states recognition during imagination of left hand (LH) movement compared to the rest is higher in reserved, practical, skeptical, and not very sociable individuals. Extraversion, liveliness, and dominance are significant for the imagination of right hand (RH) movements in “pure” right-handers, and sensitivity in latent left-handers. Subjective complexity of real LH and of imagery RH movements correlates with the success of brain states recognition in the imagination of movement of LH compared to RH and depends on the level of handedness. Thus, the level of handedness is the factor influencing the success of BCI control. The data are supposed to be connected with hemispheric differences in motor control, lateralization of dopamine, and may be important for rehabilitation of patients after a stroke.
