Cerebral blood flow was measured in normal waking (alert relaxed mental imagery) and hypnotic states. Mean flow velocity (Vm) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was significantly increased in hypnosis (Condition 11) from Condition I (5 minutes before hypnotic induction). Vm decreased in Condition III (hypnotic imagination). After hypnosis, Vm values returned to baseline. Pulsatility index values and resistive index values showed significant variations during sonographic monitoring between Conditions I and IV (5 minutes after the completion of hypnosis). Both values were significantly higher in Condition I than IV. These findings show that hypnotic status can modulate cerebral blood flow.

Polymorphisms of epoxide hydrolase genes and ischemic stroke risk in Turkish population
Miçooğulları, Yağmur; Adalı, Orhan; Can Demirdöğen, Birsen; Department of Biology (2011)
Stroke is characterized with loss of one or more functions of the body resulted by inadequate blood supply to the brain. Most of the cases result from a blood clot forms on an atherosclerotic plaque in the brain which is called as ischemic stroke. Structure of the arteries and vascular tone are listed in major determinants in the development of the disorder. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH, EPHX2) catalyzes conversion of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids to inactive diol metabolites. EETs are potent vasodilators tha...
Recurrence quantification analysis of group eye tracking data
Tajaddini, Mani; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018)
Eye movements can provide insight into the cognitive processes behind them. To study group cognition through investigating eye movements, we have developed a software tool (GETapp) to collect eye movement data from groups of participants performing a task on a set of computers in the scope of the Group Eye Tracking (GET) paradigm. Like many real-world systems, the data from group eye tracking experiments are non-linear. We have developed a software tool, a package for the R programming language, called the ...
Automated detection of sleep spindles
Görür, Dilan; Gençer, Nevzat G.; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
Sleep spindles are one of the rhythmic activities observed in sleep electroencephalogram (EEG). As they are well defined and functional, sleep spindle analysis is significant for brain research. Identifying the characteristics of sleep spindles may lead to an understanding of the functions of sleep. Furthermore, understanding the sleep spindle generation mechanisms can explain the other rhythmical activity occurring in other brain regions. The detection process of the sleep spindle data of a whole night sle...
Neuromodulatory effect of bilateral rhythmic tactile stimulation on recognition memory
Delikaya, Anıl Berk; Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Department of Medical Informatics (2022-11-29)
Over two decades, Saccade Induced Retrieval Enhancement (SIRE), referring to memory performance enhancement with alternating left-right horizontal eye movements, gained a lot of popularity among cognitive science researchers. A similar effect can optionally be realized by bilateral tactile stimulation (BLS). Although the mechanism behind the SIRE effect hasn't been conclusively revealed yet, there have been two alternative explanations: the interhemispheric interaction hypothesis and the top- down attention...
Association analysis of glutathione s-transferase omega 1 and omega 2 genetic polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk in Turkish population
Bilgin, Esra; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Biochemistry (2014)
Stroke is defined as the acute neurological cerebrovascular disease based on interruptions to blood flow in the brain. These interruptions are caused by loss of blood supply due to vessel bursts or vessel blocked by clotting. Atherosclerosis, a main cause of stroke, is blockage of endothelium layer of arteries and losing the flexibility of tissue. The oxidative stress is known as a risk factor for atherosclerosis. The increased free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased antioxidant le...
