An analysis of the transitions between down and up states of the cortical slow oscillation under urethane anaesthesia
(Springer Netherlands, 2010)We study the dynamics of the transition between the low- and high-firing states of the cortical slow oscillation by using intracellular recordings of the membrane potential from cortical neurons of rats. We investigate the ... -
Anesthesia-induced state transitions in neuronal populations
(Humana Press., 2010)It is a simple observation that the function of the central nervous system changes abruptly at certain critical brain concentrations of the anesthetic drug. This can be viewed as analogous to “state transitions” in systems ... -
Biophysical modeling of neural plasticity induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation
(Elsevier, 2018)Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a widely used noninvasive brain stimulation method capable of inducing plastic reorganisation of cortical circuits in humans. Changes in neural activity following TMS are often ... -
Calcium dependent plasticity applied to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with a neural field model
(Springer, 2016)The calcium dependent plasticity (CaDP) approach to the modeling of synaptic weight change is applied using a neural field approach to realistic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols. A spatially-symmetric ... -
Characteristics of temporal fluctuations in the hyperpolarized state of the cortical slow oscillation
(American Physical Society, 2008)We present evidence for the hypothesis that transitions between the low- and high-firing states of the cortical slow oscillation correspond to neuronal phase transitions. By analyzing intracellular recordings of the membrane ...

A calibrated dual-port acoustic Vector Network Analyser
(The University of Waikato, 2022)The Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is a workhorse in electrical engineering, and has been refined over the last fifty years to offer many advantages. This technology is continually expanding and branching into other fields ... -
Design and demonstration of a mouse-specific Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation coil in-vitro
(The University of Waikato, 2021)In Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, rapid electromagnetic fields (EM) are applied to the brain. The fundamental effects of TMS are poorly understood so we need smaller coils to perform invasive measurements on mice. Based ... -
Investigating the dynamics of a population of spiking neurons across spatial scales
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Mean-field models describe bulk neural activity in terms of population-average action potential (spike) rates, but do not attempt to address the variations in the firing activity of individual neurons and the interactions ... -
Simulation, measurement, and design of multi-electrode spinal cord stimulation Leads with a focus on MRI safeness and stimuli induced artefacts
(The University of Waikato, 2019)The electromagnetic (EM) and thermodynamic (TD) models for a Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) presented in this work, permit on one hand to analyse the impact of electrical stimuli patterns on artefacts and on the other hand ... -
Implantable electrode structures and their RF effects in MRI machines
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Medical implants incorporating long insulated conductors can generate a serious heating hazard to a patient undergoing a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. Under the high-power RF field from an MRI machine, the conductors ...
