Perspectives on the Future of EEG from EEG2021
Where is the future of EEG? The EEG 2021 Symposium held last week discussed various aspects of the field and where it is going. Here are some highlights.
Astrocytes Mediate Brain Lymphatic Function
The lymphatic system plays a key role in waste removal and immune function. Until 2012 it was thought that not such waste removal system existed…
Education and Travel in the EEG
Education and travel both increase the scope for more complex, novel stimulus to the brain. In turn the complexity of the brain EEG signal increases…
EEG Complexity Increases in Lockstep with Stimulus Consumption
More complex environments with expanded scope for stimulii to the brain have far reaching impact on various aspects of the brain. Sapien Labs’ Human Brain…
Implementations of the P300 BCI Speller
The P300 speller is a common Brain Computer Interface (BCI) application. It has many variations designed to improve its accuracy and speed. This article outlines…
Brain Computer Interface(BCI) with the P300
The P300 Event Related Potential or ERP is an EEG feature commonly used in BCI applications. It has some advantages but also some significant practical…
Reading a Thought
There is a great deal of hype about neuroimaging technologies being able to read our thoughts. And yet, we don’t really know what a thought…
Monitor-and-Act Units as Elements of Intelligence
Where is knowledge stored within the brain and living systems? The concept of monitor-and-act units provides a framework for understanding this. In my last post…
Intraperson Variability in fMRI Challenges Years of Research
Large intraperson variability in fMRI results for the same task questions the interpretation of decades of research, and makes a stronger case for EEG research….
