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) experiments of the human brain.
We will use custom code in MATLAB (and EEGLAB/ERPLAB) to analyze neural time-frequency data.

Theory - Origin of the EEG signal
General data management in EEG Lab (MATLAB)
Data Preprocessing, e.g.:
- re-referencing/resampling
- filtering
- data visualization and artifact rejection
- independent component analysis
Fast Fourier Transform
Complex wavelet convolution

Theoretical motivation for event related potential (ERP) and time-frequency analyses.

[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 programming and data analysis 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!
