EEG lab
The EEG lab, established in 2000, hosts a variety of research projects, which focus primarily on exploring the human brain mechanisms responsible for speech and language function. Our experiments mainly use ERP (event-related potential) techniques and include both visual and auditory ERP recordings as well as behavioural tests.
We employ a 128-channel, active electrode Brain Products EEG setup and all recordings are performed in an acoustically and electrically shielded chamber. The lab is equipped with a Polhemus 3DSPAce Fasttrack Digitisation System, ERTS, E-Prime and Cogent stimulation systems. For data processing, we have at our disposal several commercial software packages: Curry, BESA, ASA, SPM, Scan, and Brain Vision Analyzer. We also develop our own analysis tools in Matlab environment.
In addition to measuring ERPs, we perform MEG (magnetoencephalography) at the newly established CBU MEG Laboratory. We also conduct fMRI experiments using the CBU Siemens Tim Trio 3T system and Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre in Cambridge.
