Objectives and Evaluation
This course aims to familiarize students with the use of electrophysiology in cognitive neurosciences. This lab will allow them to set up experiments using electroencephalography (EEG), conduct analyses of event-related potentials (ERPs), and communicate the results of these analyses in the form of a report.
The exam will consist of preparing, analyzing, and presenting a data set in the form of a scientific report.
Description
The Lab Work: Introduction to EEG analysis aims to provide students with hands-on learning of electroencephalography (EEG). This lab will follow the course of an EEG study. Students will be reminded of the theoretical basics of proper EEG usage. Then, in a practical phase, students will be asked to learn how to set up an EEG system, analyze this data using a dedicated program, and finally present them in the form of a scientific report. The lab will focus on classic visual event-related potentials such as P1, N170, and N2pc. After this course, students will be able to understand and analyze data from an EEG experiment and apply this knowledge to research as well as to the clinic.
