EEG recording session (Day 1)
12:00-13:00: Registration
13:00-15:30: EEG recording
Organized by groups, we will have three EEG systems (Brain Vision, http://brainvision.com/)
- Digitization of the electrodes positions and head shape
Task #1: Resting state
1 minutes open eyes - 2 minutes closed eyes – 1 minute open eyes (total 4 minutes)- Task #2: Oddball paradigm
15:30-16:00: Coffee break
16:00-17:00: Dr. Steven Bressler (Florida Atlantic University)
- Title: EEG Spectral Analysis
Brainstorm workshop (Day 2)
Requirements
The participants are required to bring a laptop (an external mouse will add to your comfort). In order to make the session as efficient as possible, we ask all the attendees to download, install and test the software and sample dataset on their laptops prior to the workshop.
Please read carefully the following instructions:
