Recording Brain Activity with Electroencephalography (EEG) During the Virtual Spatial Navigation Task

To begin, use a measuring tape to measure the participant's head from inion to nasion to ensure the proper fitting of the EEG cap. Place electrodes into the EEG cap and outfit the participant with the EEG cap ensuring proper fitting in placement. Now, start the EEG software.

Fill each electrode with electrode gel to ensure that impedance measurements are below 25 kiloohms and start the recording. Recruit a member of the research team to watch the participant as the participant performs the spatial task. Send a trigger pulse to the EEG recording system at the start and end of the encoding, remembering an episodic memory phase.
