Frontal auditory evoked potentials (FAEPs) obtained as a response to the warning auditory stimulus of a contingent negative variation task from depth electrodes were investigated. The second, imperative stimulus was visual. Thirteen epileptic patients participated in the study. Records from 20 electrodes of 10 patients exhibited signs of local generation. They were localized in the motor cortices (7 cases), in the superior, medial, and inferior frontal gyri (7 cases), in the cingulate gyrus (5 cases), and in the nucleus caudatus (1 case). A typical FAEP from these generators consisted of three components: (i) first negative wave peaking at 99±13 ms; (ii) positive wave peaking at 181±21 ms; (iii) second negative wave peaking at 324±63 ms. In 11 generators no evoked activity to visual stimulus was observed; in the remaining 9 generators both auditory and visual stimuli evoked a response. FAEPs with very early onsets (onset latency below 20 ms) were found in three sites in the precentral gyrus., M. Kukleta, B. Turak, J. Louvel., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The wedding, or its socio-cultural equivalent, was considered to be the most important social event in all human societies of all time. In traditional European society, everything that related to the creation of a permanent union between a man and a woman in the institution of marriage was endowed with a sacred character and was subject to public scrutiny. The study aims to provide a commented description and to interpret the wedding merriment recorded in the first half of 1990 in Šumice, one of the Czech villages in the Romanian Banat. The first part explains the issue of the ethnic enclave as a subject of ethnological study. It defines the peculiarities of Šumice in the context of the Czech Banat, and it gives an overview of the demographic development of the village. The wedding ritual (veselka) in Šumice is presented from an ethnographic-historical perspective first. The first part of the study was published in the previous, first, issue of Ethnographic Journal 2022.
