Teilnahmevoraussetzungen | Enrolment in Master's programme Neurocognitive Psychology. |
Kompetenzziele | Goals of module: Students will understand the basic concepts of biomedical signal processing. They will use EEG analysis tools interactively and independently and will understand the complete chain of EEG analysis steps, from data import to the illustration of results. They will be able to use open source tools for EEG analysis and apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems of physiology. Competencies: ++ Neuropsychological / neurophysiological knowledge ++ experimental methods ++ statistics & scientific programming ++ ethics / good scientific practice / professional behavior + group work + project & time management |
Modulinhalte | Students will acquire specific knowledge about neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, learn the fundamental concepts of multi-channel EEG analysis, and acquire hands-on skills in recording EEG data and using EEGLAB, an open-source software toolbox for advanced EEG analysis. Part 1: Neurophysiology and neuroanatomy (lecture): winter Neurophysiology, EEG, EMG, ECG Neuroanatomy Time-domain and frequency-domain analysis methods Part 2: EEG recording and analysis (seminar): winter In small groups under supervision of the lecturer, all students will record EEG data of their fellow students and will serve as participants for their classmates. We cannot guarantee same-gender groups. Recording and analysis of biomedical signals Averaging, filtering, signal-to-noise Topographical EEG analysis Part 3: EEG analysis with Matlab (seminar): summer EEGLAB file I/O, data structure and scripting Preprocessing, artefact rejection and artefact correction Statistical decomposition Event-related potentials, topographical mapping and power spectra Illustration of results |
