Intro to EEG

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a commonly used technique in the realm of cognitive neuroscience to make measurements of scalp electrical activity. This course has two main objectives: 1) to give students an introduction to the theoretical principles underlying the measurement and analysis of EEG, and 2) to give students an opportunity to use EEG in a basic experiment of their own design and present the results. We will employ commercial EEG technology to conduct simple measurements, learn the basics of analysis, and explore the kinds of questions that EEG can help answer about the neural basis of behaviour.
