2 Page 2 Biopac Science Lab Lesson 5 ELECTROENCEPHALOGPAHY 1 Brain Rhythms I. SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES The brain is encased in the cranium, bones of the skull that cover and protect the brain. A thin cover of skin, called the scalp, covers most of the cranium. The cerebrum, divided into right and left hemispheres, is the largest part of the brain. The thin superficial part of the cerebrum, located immediately beneath cranial bones, is called the cerebral cortex. General functions occurring in the cerebral cortex such as reasoning, abstract thought, and memory govern our behavior, help distinguish us from other animals, and define us as human. The cerebral cortex consists of a network of nerve cells (neurons), many of which are structurally and functionally connected to each other and connected to other parts of the brain. Four areas (lobes) of each cerebral hemisphere aid in localizing specific functional regions of the cortex. Named after overlying protective bones of the cranium, these lobes are the frontal lobe, the parietal lobes, the occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe (Fig. 5.1). The frontal lobes initiate and control voluntary muscle contraction, such as in walking, lifting, or forming words when we speak. The Fig. 5.1 frontal lobes also coordinate muscles that move the eyes; control motor behaviors, such as pacing or fist-fighting; act as a damper for excessive emotional display; allow us to sort trivial from important sensory information and respond accordingly; and are involved in planning complex movements. A large part of our personality and behavior is governed by frontal lobe function. The parietal lobes process somatic (skeleton, muscles, skin) sensory information by distinguishing one sensation from another, localizing the source in the body, sending the information to other areas of the brain for further processing, and storing the information in memory. Cutaneous (skin) sensations, such as pain, temperature change, touch, pressure, stretch, and combinations of primary senses, such as wetness (pressure and temperature), are processed in the parietal cortex. Your ability to identify, while blindfolded, a familiar object placed in your hand based on how it feels (its mass, texture, and shape) depends on parietal lobe function. The occipital lobes process visual information originating in the retinas of the eyes. Information about light waves such as color and intensity, as well as patterns of light, are processed into visual images, sent to other areas of the brain for further processing, or stored in memory. Your ability to see, with eyes open, as well as form visual images with eyes closed, depends on occipital lobe function. The temporal lobes process auditory information detected by the ears. Characteristics of sound waves, such as frequency or pitch, and intensity or loudness, as well as harmonics or overtones, are identified and processed in the temporal cortex. Your ability to hear and distinguish the difference between a musical note (for example, C) played on a trumpet and the same musical note played on a piano involves temporal lobe function. The temporal lobes also store auditory information and send it to other areas of the brain for further processing. For example, when you whistle a tune, auditory information from the temporal cortex is used by the frontal cortex to control muscles used in whistling. Electrical activity in the form of nerve impulses being sent to and received from cortical neurons is always present. Even during sleep, when awareness is reduced, the brain may generate visual images as in dreaming, or subconscious muscle contractions producing movement. In a biological, medical, and legal sense, absence of electrical activity in the cerebral cortex signifies death. Since the cerebral cortex is just under the cranium, electrodes placed on the scalp above the various regions of the brain can detect the electrical activity associated with functioning neurons. The recording of the brain s activity obtained by using electrodes is called electroencephalogram (EEG) (electro = electrical, encephelo = brain, gram = record). The EEG is a waveform recording of voltage (in microvolts) vs. time (in seconds), and represents the summated synchronized activities of several hundred thousand neurons near the recording electrodes. Five simple periodic rhythms recorded in the EEG are alpha, beta, delta, theta, and gamma. The five basic rhythms have been associated with various states. These rhythms are identified by frequency (Hz or cycles/sec) and amplitude (μv or 1/1,000,000 of a volt). See Table 5.1.
3 Lesson 5: EEG 1 Page 3 Table 5.1. Typical frequencies and amplitudes of synchronized brainwaves Rhythm Frequencies (Hz) Amplitude (μv) alpha beta delta theta gamma Note The amplitude measurements shown in Table 5.1 are typical values reported in clinical settings. In a classroom setting, the recorded amplitudes may be smaller. Alpha In general, the alpha rhythm is the prominent EEG wave pattern of an adult who is awake but relaxed with eyes closed. Each region of the brain has a characteristic alpha rhythm, but alpha waves of the greatest amplitude are recorded from the occipital and parietal regions of the cerebral cortex. Results from various studies indicate that: 1. Females tend to have higher mean frequencies of alpha waves than males. 2. Alpha wave amplitudes are likely to be higher in outgoing subjects. 3. Alpha wave amplitudes vary with the subject s attention to mental tasks performed with the eyes closed. In general, amplitudes of alpha waves diminish when subjects open their eyes and are attentive to external stimuli, although some subjects trained in relaxation techniques can maintain high alpha amplitudes even with their eyes open. Beta Beta rhythms occur in individuals who are alert and attentive to external stimuli or exert specific mental effort, or paradoxically, beta rhythms also occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deep sleep during which the eyes switch back and forth. Notice that the amplitude of beta rhythms tends to be lower than for alpha rhythms. This does not mean that there is less electrical activity, rather that the positive and negative activities are starting to counterbalance so that the sum of the electrical activity is less. Thus, instead of getting the wave-like synchronized pattern of alpha waves, desynchronization, or alpha block, occurs. So, the beta wave represents arousal of the cortex to a higher state of alertness or tension. It may also be associated with remembering or retrieving memories. Delta and Theta Delta and theta rhythms are low-frequency EEG patterns that increase during sleep in the normal adult. As people move from lighter to deeper stages of sleep (prior to REM sleep), the occurrence of alpha waves diminishes and is gradually replaced by the lower frequency theta and then delta rhythms. Although delta and theta rhythms are generally most prominent during sleep, there are cases when delta and theta rhythms are recorded from individuals who are awake. For example, theta waves will occur for brief intervals during emotional responses to frustrating events or situations. Delta waves may increase during difficult mental activities requiring concentration. In general, the occurrence and amplitudes of delta and theta rhythms are highly variable within and between individuals. Gamma Gamma rhythms are high-frequency EEG patterns that can be recorded from all lobes of the cerebrum. In this lesson, you will use electroencephalography to study brain wave activity. The software will filter the raw EEG signal to separate and display alpha, beta, delta, and theta rhythms (gamma rhythms are not displayed in this lesson). II. EXPERIMENTAL OBJECTIVES 1) To record an EEG from an awake, resting subject with eyes open and eyes closed. 2) To identify and examine alpha, beta, delta, and theta components of the EEG complex 3) To compare differences between male and female students.

Note Channel Number (CH) designations: Channel CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 Displays Alpha Beta Delta Theta Details To review saved data, choose Analyze current data file from the Done dialog after recording data, or choose Review Saved Data from the Lessons menu and browse to the required file. CH1 EEG unfiltered (hidden) To show/hide a channel: Windows: Ctrl-click channel box Mac: Option-click channel box 2. Set up the measurement boxes as follows: Channel Measurement CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 Stddev Stddev Stddev Stddev 3. Set up the display window for optimal viewing of the first data segment. Fig. 5.6 The measurement boxes are above the marker region in the data window. Each measurement has three sections: channel number, measurement type, and result. The first two sections are pull-down menus that are activated when you click them. Stddev: standard deviation is a measure of the variability of data points. The data represent amplitudes of the brain rhythms. The advantage of the Stddev measurement is that the result is not influenced by extreme values or artifacts. Note The selected area is the area selected by the I- Beam tool (including the endpoints). The first data segment is the segment before the first marker, which recorded data with Eyes closed 1 (see Fig. 5.7). Fig. 5.7 The following tools help you adjust the data window: Autoscale Horizontal Horizontal (Time) Scroll Bar Autoscale Waveforms Vertical (Amplitude) Scroll Bar Zoom Zoom Previous/Back Overlap Split

This is the data from the append marker at Time 0 to the first event marker when the Subject s eyes were first opened. A 5. Repeat Step 4 for the eyes open data. A 6. Repeat Step 4 for the eyes re-closed data. 7. Set the measurements for Frequency (Freq): Channel Measurement CH2 Freq CH3 Freq CH4 Freq CH5 Freq 8. Zoom in on a 1-2 second section of the eyes closed data from Time 0 to the first event marker. 9. Using the I-Beam cursor, select an area that represents one cycle in the alpha wave (Fig. 5.8). B 10. Repeat Step 9 for two other alpha wave cycles. 11. Select CH3 Beta, and repeat measurements from Steps B 12. Select CH4 Delta, and repeat measurements from Steps B 13. Select CH5 Theta, and repeat measurements from Steps B 14. Save or print the data file. 15. Exit the program. Freq: converts the time segment of the selected area to frequency in cycles/sec. It will not calculate the correct frequency if the selected area contains more than one cycle. Note The Freq measurement applies to all channels since it is calculated from the horizontal time scale. Fig. 5.8 Use Ctrl-Click (Windows) or Options-click (Mac) as desired to Show/Hide channels and help with zoom and selection. You may save the data, save notes that are in the journal, or print the data file. 16. Set the MP40 dial to Off. END OF LESSON 5 Complete the Lesson 5 Data Report that follows.
