An introduction into the electroencephalogram.

I cover what this neuroimaging method measures and how scientists are able to process the raw EEG data into something meaningful.

Attention networks task (ANT):

For information on doing your own EEG, here's some tips on how to get rid of artifacts during the data acquisition:

1- try to get something that the subject can lean his chin against while looking at the screen. you want all of the subject's neck, head, and jaw muscles to be completely relaxed. we used something that basically mimicked someone holding your head in place. you want to make sure that they don't move their head, swallow, or look around during the study
2- make sure while you are running the study that you give the subject breaks 10 sec-1min during the study. this will allow some time for the subject's brain to "zone out" a little bit. this way while your subject is actually focusing, their brain will be able to do so better.
3- blinking is a huge source of artifacts. so if the subject has contact lenses, please ask him to bring his glasses that day. contacts dry out the eye and cause more blinking to occur.
4- temperature- make sure that the temperature of the room is balanced, if the subject is hot, their skin will sweat and this will create artifacts in your data. but if you are using air conditioning to keep the room cool, make sure you don't overdo it. keeping the air conditioning on high will dry out the subject's eyes, causing them to blink more.

hope that helps!
