In EEG, voltages recorded at each electrode are computed with reference to another electrode. The choice of this electrode reference impacts a number of EEG measures. […]

Individual Variability in Adolescent Brain and Behavior
Little is known about the developmental trajectory of the brain through adolescence but a few studies suggest there is large inter-person variability and differences that […]
Beyond the Brain: Embodied Cognition
The feedback loops between brain and body are profound, leading to the possibility that cognition is not simply a function of the brain alone but […]
Down a Rabbit Hole? A History of EEG Analysis
The analysis of the EEG signal in terms of frequency bands has its origins in the technical workarounds of the 1930s when there were no […]
Ethics in EEG
New directions and applications in EEG have significant implications for the future of society and raise the need for ethics frameworks. Last week the South […]
Alpha, Alpha Everywhere: What Does it Mean?
Activity in the alpha band has been a subject of much interest since the first recording of EEG. However methodological inconsistencies and confounding changes across […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Neuromarketing with EEG: The Science and the Hype
Neuromarketing using EEG takes advantage of frontal asymmetry as a measure of emotional engagement but confounds abound and better methods are needed for real results. […]
