Absence of evidence for post-training tDCS effects on motor memory consolidation and premotor–primary motor cortex interaction: a resting-state EEG study
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience20261 influential citationsIntroduction Motor memory consolidation may be influenced by offline application of non-invasive brain stimulation to the primary motor cortex (M1). One potential underlying mechanism involves changes in oscillatory neuronal activity…
Alpha power increases spontaneously during a neurofeedback session.
Communications psychology2026Electroencephalographic neurofeedback (EEG-NF) has been proposed as a promising technique to modulate brain activity through real-time EEG-based feedback. Alpha neurofeedback in particular is believed to induce rapid self-regulation of…
Somatometric, Training, and Behavioral Profiles of Resistance Training Practitioners and Recreational Exercisers in Greece: A Multivariate Comparative Study.
Sports (Basel, Switzerland)2026n=1,187EThis cross-sectional study compared somatometric, training, and behavioral characteristics of adult exercisers in Greece, contrasting self-identified resistance-training practitioners with recreational exercisers. A total of 1187 adults…
The Severity of COVID-19 Is Associated with Greater Impairment of Cardiac Autonomic Modulation-Physical Training as a Countermeasure.
Journal of functional morphology and kinesiology2026n=58EBackground: COVID-19 has been associated with persistent impairments in autonomic modulation of heart rate variability (HRV). However, whether disease severity during the acute phase influences the magnitude of these impairments remains…
Association between cardiac autonomic control and blood pressure response to resistance training in adults with pharmacologically treated hypertension.
Physiological reports2026n=31BThis study aimed to assess the acute cardiac autonomic responses to high and low intensity resistance training and their association with post exercise hypotension in adults with pharmacologically treated hypertension. This randomized…
EEG-Based Multifocal Tomographic Neurofeedback in Older Individuals With Chronic Tinnitus Does Not Lead to Persistent Electrophysiological Changes.
Brain and behavior2026n=39ETinnitus is typically a chronic condition characterized by phantom hearing sensations in the absence of external sound sources. Although there is currently no commonly agreed neurobiological model of tinnitus generation and chronification,…
Adaptive time-frequency decomposition informer for pathological rest tremor sequence prediction
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine2026n=20Pathological tremor is a common symptom of various neurological disorders. Pathological tremor signal prediction is important to the tremor suppression equipment. However, how to improve the accuracy of multi-step prediction of tremor…
Stage-dependent modulation of high- and low-frequency neural activity during motor imagery based on stereoelectroencephalography
NeuroImage2026Motor imagery (MI) recruits motor networks without overt movement and underpins many brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigms, yet how neural activity is organized across distinct task stages remains unclear. Using…
Comparison of high-intensity interval training and small-sided games on physical fitness among players: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
Front Physiol2026n=400Systematic Review<h4>Background</h4>With the continuous advancement of sports training methodologies, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and small-sided games (SSG) have emerged as crucial strategies for enhancing players' physical fitness. However,…
Time-frequency embedding with contrastive pre-training allows sub-second seizure detection
bioRxiv2026Rapid and accurate detection of electrographic seizures is critical for both clinical diagnosis and neuroscience research. Although seizure identification is commonly performed in the time domain, analysis in the time-frequency domain…
