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.
Perspectives on the Future of EEG from EEG2021
Lab Talk
The Impact of Life Experience on the Human Brain
The brain develops and morphs across the lifespan based on experience. Two talks discuss the impact of our behaviors from physical exercise to cell phone…
How are Concepts Created in the Brain?
A concept is a general notion or construct of something that doesn’t necessarily need all the pieces exactly and depends on context. How does the…
A New Metric of Waveform Complexity in EEG Analysis
It is yet unclear which features of the EEG signal are the most informative about brain states and outcomes. A new complexity measure with different…
Predicting Human Behavior with Diffusion Models
Random walk or diffusion models have been successful at predicting human decision making and guiding experiments. Here’s why. In my last post I described two…
The Radically Changing View of the Cerebellum
Long thought to be purely involved in motor activity, new roles have been discovered for the cerebellum in cognition. Yet so long on a backfoot…
The Puzzle of Working Memory
Working memory, the capacity to keep things ‘in mind’ such as a phone number, is a phenomenon poorly understood in Neuroscience. What do we know…
Cognitive Health: Defining and Measuring it
The brain’s primary function is cognition. Why don’t we have measures of cognitive health as a fundamental metric of a healthy brain? Like the heart’s…
Your Brain from Noodles to Nuts
Every molecule or nutrient we ingest has potential impact on our brain health and cognitive function yet we know surprisingly little about these relationships. Each…
