EEG
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method for monitoring aspects of brain activity. In an EEG, electrodes are placed on the scalp to record nerve activity within the brain. EEG signals are affected by the state of arousal of the cerebral cortex and show characteristic changes in different stages of sleep or in response to stimulation by the external environment. Because EEG recording is non-invasive it is the easiest way to analyze brain activity and are used extensively in research to study brain function.
Use PowerLab as a robust base for non-invasive recording of EEGs and cognitive or behavioral studies in humans. Combined with LabChart you can record surface EEG activity from up to 32 cortical sites using our full line of Bio Amplifiers that are fully tested and certified for human subjects.
