- Abstract (EN)
- The spinal cord, despite its central role in sensory and motor integration, remains under investigated compared to the brain. This thesis first addresses key obstacles to non‑invasive electrophysiological recordings from the human spinal cord by developing optimal strategies for removing large cardiac artefacts in electrospinography (ESG) data, markedly enhancing signal quality. Using these refined methods, electroencephalography (EEG) was then combined with simultaneous ESG as a tool to probe entire human central nervous system (CNS) function, investigating both evoked and intrinsic neural activity. Together, these studies strengthen the usability of ESG, reveal novel features of CNS dynamics, and underscore the potential of spinal cord electrophysiology in both basic and clinical research.
