To register for this course please send an email to:

moritz.stolte@univie.ac.at

You will receive a confirmation before the end of the registration period.

Please note the block format of the course: We will meet in digital form (zoom) only six times during the semester (Wednesdays 8:30am - 2:30pm, April 27th - June 1st 2022).
Due to the digital form of the course, in order to participate you must have access to a computer that meets the technical requirements to run MATLAB (https://de.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html), the Psychophysics Toolbox (http://psychtoolbox.org), and EEG Lab (https://sccn.ucsd.edu/eeglab/index.php). In addition, MATLAB must be installed and working already for the first session on 27.04.2022!

The max. number of students for the course is 20.
The course will convene in digital form only.
The course is entirely given in English.
Students that have completed TEWA I will be prioritized.

Due to the digital format of the course you must install a full version of MATLAB (2016 or later) on your PC/Mac (the trial version is not sufficient as it expires after 1 month)!

Please do this before the course starts (you may find a cheaper student version online).

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

[AIMS and CONTENT]
The course teaches the theoretical background and practical steps necessary to perform (and interpret the results of) electroencephalographic (EEG) data of the human brain.
In addition, the course teaches the basics of programming simple behavioral (and EEG) experiments using MATLAB and the Psychophysics Toolbox.

The main focus is on analysis of behavioral psychophysical data and the EEG method in detail:

Theory - Origin of the EEG signal
General data management in EEG Lab (Matlab)
Data Preprocessing:
- re-referencing/resampling
- filtering
- data visualization and artifact rejection
Independent component analysis
Time frequency analysis
Custom analysis scripts (EEG Lab & ERP Lab functions)

[METHODS:]
Practical MATLAB programming sessions, oral presentations by lecturer and students, in-class participation, weekly homework.

Assessment and permitted materials

[ASSESSMENT]
The final grade considers active participation, oral presentations, and completion of assignments. Further details will be discussed in the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

[REQUIREMENTS]
MATLAB or other programming skills are an advantage.
You must have access to a computer with a working version of MATLAB and required toolboxes!
