When the sun prickles your nose: an EEG study identifying neural bases of photic sneezing.

PloS one | 2010

Exposure to bright light such as sunlight elicits a sneeze or prickling sensation in about one of every four individuals. This study presents the first scientific examination of this phenomenon, called 'the photic sneeze reflex'.

sLORETA (tool)

RRID:SCR_013829

A software application which computes images of electric neuronal activity from EEG and MEG. Standard Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography, or sLORETA, localizes “test point sources” exactly (under ideal conditions) when estimating electric neuronal generators. This property can be generalized to any source distribution, based on the principles of linearity and superposition. However, it would be noted that sLORETA has very low spatial resolution.
