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.
You would like to start with EEG research, but you are unsure what type of electrode technology works best for you? Given the range of possibilities, it can be hard to choose the best EEG system for your research. If you could use some guidance, this article is a good start for you!
Are you a user of the Brain Products active electrodes? Do you struggle to check whether your active electrodes are still fit for recording? Was it already suggested to perform a “saline test” but you are not sure on how to interpret the outcome of your test? This article might be ideal for you!
