Task Relevant Source Based Brain Computer Interface: Exploration of Independent Component Analysis Based Spatial Filtering with Reliability
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Brain-computer interface (BCI) for visuomotor tasks requires identification of task-specific patterns of brain activity. During the visuomotor task, the subject encodes the visual information for a decision and then makes ...
Neural Mechanisms of Tinnitus and the Effects of Low-Level Noise Exposure on the Peripheral and Central Auditory Systems
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Subjective tinnitus, the perception of ringing or buzzing without an external sound source, and hyperacusis, an intolerance to loud sounds, can be severely debilitating disorders, and unfortunately, there remains no cure. ...
Classification of Electroencephalogram in Ovine Model of Perinatal Hypoxia by Movement of the Autoregressive Model Parameters
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) secondary to perinatal asphyxia occurs when the brain does not receive enough oxygen and blood. Oxygen deprivation can be caused by knotting of the umbilical ...
The Roles of WT1 and BASP1 in the Development and Maintenance of the Posterior Taste Field
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Taste is one of the fundamental senses that organisms have evolved, which is critical for survival. Taste receptor cells have the function to detect chemicals in the oral cavity and transmit the chemical information to the ...
Brain as a Predictor of Learning in Entertainment-Education: An Event-Related Potential (ERP) Study
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
For decades now, entertainment media have been created to leverage the power of storytelling for raising social consciousness, disseminating accurate information, and facilitating positive change through the use of ...
Cross-Sensory Perception in Music and Visual Media: A Neurocognitive Approach to Multimedia Counterpoint
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Despite differences in language and methodology, the fields of music theory, multimedia studies, and cognitive neuroscience are exploring many of the same questions. This dissertation seeks to define and describe multimedia ...
Role of X-box Binding Protein 1 in Regulation of Retinal Müller Glia Metabolism
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Müller glia play a critical role in maintaining retinal homeostasis through shuttling metabolic substrates to and from retinal neurons, releasing trophic factors, regulating neurotransmission, providing structural support, ...
Identification of Potential HTT-Rab Axonal Transport Complexes
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a deadly neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by an expansion of the poly-glutamine tract in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Evidence has shown that HTT can function in the axonal transport ...
Functional Regulation of Ion Channels in Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons by Magi-1: Implications in Pain Signaling
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Persistent pain leads to alterations in ion channel expression in neurons along the pain-axis. Ion channels provide neurons with a mechanism to detect and respond to changes in their environment. Adaptive changes in ion ...
Examining the role of E3 Ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 during withdrawal following cocaine self-administration
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Drug addiction is a disease characterized by episodes of relapse despite periods of drug abstinence. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) degrades proteins and is involved in cocaine-induced plasticity in the nucleus ...
