The Insidious Costs of Poor Scientific Data Management
Data takes time and money to collect and is the core raw material of a lab but often it is managed poorly and not utilized…
What’s in a Good Night’s Sleep?
What constitutes a good night sleep may not be so clear when it comes to what the brain is doing. Simple interpretations of function based…
Measuring Entropy in the EEG
Entropy measures quantify the uncertainty in the EEG, which roughly equates to the possible configurations or their predictability. However there are many method and parameter…
The Diminishing Value of the Scientific Journal Article
The sheer volume of scientific articles makes validation and discovery of results near impossible. The solution may lie in doing away with the journal article…
Turning Brainwaves to Sound
Turning brainwaves recorded with EEG into sound has a fifty year history in art. With clever approaches to the signal, ‘listening’ to the EEG can…
Factors that Impact Power Spectral Density Estimation
EEG analysis often involves estimation of the power spectral density or PSD. Various parameters can impact the results and must be chosen carefully. Estimating the...
The EEG from infancy to adulthood
Studies point to a systematic shift in various signatures of the EEG from infancy to adulthood, however there is no clear large scale longitudinal dataset…
Searching for Memory in the EEG
The search for correlates of memory in the EEG has been a confounding area of study. The answer may lie in clever approaches to temporal…
Intra-person Variability in the EEG
Our brain activity are in constant flux and fundamental aspects of the dynamics vary both across the brain and over time. For some people this…
