Using EEG in multimodal applications is a great way to expand the potential of EEG research. One such example is combined EEG-fNIRS. In 2024, we started a series of articles demonstrating how to combine Brain Products EEG solutions with various fNIRS systems. Now, LiveAmp with Spectrum C23 (by Cortivision) is also on our list of tested combinations.
Most research-level acquisition still relies on gel-based electrodes mounted in caps. Easycap GmbH is a manufacturing specialist offering standard or tailored caps or electrodes for almost any recording scenario or amplifier. This article presents our caps’ key features, the different variations available (e.g. for EEG-MRI) and additional services.
This study investigates the role of interbrain synchrony (IBS) in musical duos and its influence on coordinated behaviors, especially during tempo changes. It shows that in addition to shared sensory and motor inputs, cognitive processes also contribute to IBS to understand the relationship between IBS and social interaction.
Here are some more short news as well as an overview of the latest updates and downloads for our products and solutions.
In this article we briefly introduce a brand-new collection of comprehensive support resources for those of you who are doing EEG-fNIRS research or are planning to do so.
Research on emotions often has low ecological validity, since participants view stimuli that should induce emotional states, but they do not experience real emotions in most experiments. We combined mobile EEG with an immersive fear of heights paradigm in VR to assess EEG correlates of fear with high ecological validity.
Setting up an actiCAP slim/snap system in a nice and neat way has several benefits, including reducing preparation times as well as the risks of unintentional damages. With high density caps though, this process can appear challenging. In this article we provide our guidelines and tips on how to nicely prepare a 128-channel actiCAP snap cap with actiCAP slim electrodes that can be applied in any laboratory and setup.
…and now it is! With our latest product improvement, you can identify electrode positions in your layout more easily and help beginners learn the 10-10 system intuitively while preparing caps in the lab. In this article we are pleased to introduce the new actiCAP with electrode labels printed on the fabric.
This research combines mobile EEG and augmented reality (AR) to study cognition. Participants completed three face inversion tasks: (1) computer-based, (2) mobile EEG with photographs, (3) mobile EEG with AR. We find face inversion effects in all tasks, concluding that mobile EEG and AR is a promising approach for research.
In a recent publication, Anneke Hamann and Nils Carstengerde (German Aerospace Center, Institute of Flight Guidance) investigated pilots’ cognitive states using EEG & fNIRS and analyzed the effects of stepwise increased mental workload while controlling for fatigue. Here is an interview with the authors about their paper and their fascinating research.
