Electro-encephalography (EEG)

Przegląd

EEG is a non-invasive technique that can measure brain activity. The neural activity generates electrical signals that are recorded by EEG electrodes placed on the scalp. When an individual is engaged in performing a cognitive task, brain activity changes and these changes can be recorded on the EEG graph. Therefore, it is a powerful tool for cognitive scientist aiming to better understand the neural correlates associated with different aspects of cognition, which will ultimately help them devise improved treatments for patients with cognitive deficits.

Here, JoVE presents a brief overview of EEG and its applications in cognitive research. First, we discuss where and how EEG signals are generated. Then, we explain the use of EEG in studying cognition along with a detailed step-by-step protocol to perform an EEG experiment. Lastly, the video reviews some specific cognitive experiments that use EEG in combination with other techniques such as functional Magnetic Resonance imaging (fMRI) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

Procedura

Electroencephalography, or EEG, is an electrophysiological technique commonly used by researchers studying cognition. The brain constantly generates electrical activity, which can occur spontaneously, or when induced by stimulation. EEG is a noninvasive, portable and inexpensive technique that can detect and quantify changes in the brain's activity, making it particularly useful for cognitive studies. In this video, we will briefly explain how EEG signals are generated, how EEG is applied to cognitive research, the stand
