“…Similar with the connectivity of complex network, the structural and functional brain network possesses the small-world properties found by Watts and Strogatz [5]. It has been suggested that small-world properties support rapid adaptive reconfiguration of functional connectivity in response to varying cognitive demands [6] when listening to music [4] and learning [7]. Also many researches indicate that network measures show a great change in neurological diseases like Alzheimer's [8] and schizophrenia [9].…”

“…Then the clustering coefficient C w and the global efficiency E w were utilized to quantify the topological properties of weighted EEG functional networks based on PLI and NMI. The calculation of C w and E w can be referred to [4]. Then, the T-test (p=0.05) was adopted to compare the mean PLI and NMI values and the network measures C w and E w to disclose some network features in unrecognized SD.…”

“…The study of J. Wu, et al [4] revealed that human's brain functional network connectivity and small-world properties dynamically changed depending on the environment. The study by Ahmadlou, et al [27] found that in the working memory task, there was a significant decrease of brain network complexity expressed by a lower clustering coefficient and global efficiency in patients with mild cognitive impairment in the theta and alpha bands.…”

Abstract. Unrecognized spatial disorientation (SD) which is intimately linked with brain cognitive function is always a fatal issue for the safety of pilots. To explore its effects on human brain cognitive functions, electroencephalography (EEG) functional network analysis methods were adopted to examine topological changes in the connection of cognitive regions when experiencing unrecognized SD. Twelve male pilots participated in the study. They were subjected to a SD scene, namely visual rotation, which evoked unrecognized SD. For the main EEG frequency intervals, the phase lag index (PLI) and normalized mutual information (NMI) were calculated to quantify the EEG data. Then weighted connectivity networks were constructed and their properties were characterized in terms of an average clustering coefficient and global efficiency. A T-test was performed to compare PLI, NMI and network measures under unrecognized SD and non-SD conditions. It indicated a weak functional connectivity level in the theta band under unrecognized SD based on the significant decrease of mean values of PLI and NMI (p<0.05). Meanwhile, both the average clustering coefficient and global efficiency in the theta band reduced under the unrecognized SD condition. The decrease of the average clustering coefficient and global efficiency demonstrates a lack of small-world characteristics and a decline in processing efficiency of brain cognitive regions. All the experimental results show that unrecognized SD may have a negative effect on brain functional networks in the theta band. S1115With the development of aviation and space technology, astronauts and pilots are being sent into space on board various aircrafts and planes. Meanwhile, a series of problems is emerging, and spatial disorientation (SD) is one of these problems that have to be studied. During flight, three sensory systems named visual, vestibular and proprioceptive system often send conflicting information to the brain, and then three types of SD may happen, namely recognized SD, unrecognized SD and incapacitating SD [1]. SD often causes flying accidents, and statistics show that from 5% to 10% of all aviation accidents can be attributed to SD, while 90% of these accidents are fatal [2]. One thing to note is that accidents caused by unrecognized SD account for 80% of the total caused by SD [3]. The brain is considered to be a complex system, comprising spatially interconnected areas [4]. Similar with the connectivity of complex network, the structural and functional brain network possesses the small-world properties found by Watts and Strogatz [5]. It has been suggested that small-world properties support rapid adaptive reconfiguration of functional connectivity in response to varying cognitive demands [6] when listening to music [4] and learning [7]. Also many researches indicate that network measures show a great change in neurological diseases like Alzheimer's [8] and schizophrenia [9]. These findings indicate that the brain functional network has a dynamic feature according to...

“…Singing, like speaking, is innate to all human societies [28], with neuroscience imaging studies indicating overlap between singing and speaking brain networks [29]. Singing employs greater neural circuitry [30,31], which may be preserved following a stroke [32]; indeed people with aphasia can often sing despite an inability to speak [33]. Small-scale singing studies with stroke survivors show improved mood [34,35], QOL [36], neuroplasticity [37], and word production [36,38].…”

Graph theory is now becoming a standard tool in system-level neuroscience. However, endowing observed brain anatomy and dynamics with a complex network representation involves often covert theoretical assumptions and methodological choices which affect the way networks are reconstructed from experimental data, and ultimately the resulting network properties and their interpretation. Here, we review some fundamental conceptual underpinnings and technical issues associated with brain network reconstruction, and discuss how their mutual influence concurs in clarifying the organization of brain function.
