EEG Procedures

Out of date

Please review the “Working with EEG Nets” training document for additional information on net placement and care. EEG training is best done hands on. For training on EEG Analysis, please see the EEG training appendix

• During our EEG sessions, we have the main EEG room lights off, and the standing lamp on
• We also use a video camera and microphone to communicate with participants during the session. Make sure to turn on the microphone when you want it and off when you don’t.
• During the EEG session, log the name of the EEG and also note any problems (bad channels) that occurred during the session in the EEG use log (orange binder near the TV)
• Replacement supplies for the EEG can be ordered though EGI (salt, replacement nets, warranties) or small things (shampoo) can be bought at CVS and reimbursed.
• Make sure to save the EEG data on the appropriate locations on the NetStation Mac, the server, and also burn to a CD or DVD

Instructions for Participants

When scheduling an EEG session, it is important to email the participant the following information: Make sure to relay these instructions to participants before they come in for their EEG session, at least a full 24 hours in advance.

• Please do not wear any make-up during your session
• Please do not leave any hair product (sprays, gels) in your hair. Shampoo and conditioner are fine, but please make sure to rinse them out.
• Please do not style your hair.  It should be combed out as straight as possible.
• Please let us know if you have recently dyed your hair. It can discolor the EEG net.
• Please let us know if you have any head or facial piercings that cannot be easily removed.
• Please let us know if you have your hair in any of the following hair styles: corn-rows, dread locks, afro, or beehive. Unfortunately, due to the nature of these hair styles, it is nearly impossible to get good connectivity between the EEG net and your scalp.
• Let us know if you aware that you have head lice. We cannot run the EEG experiment on people with head lice due to the possibility that it could spread to future participants.
• We often find that we get the best results when the participants have recently-washed hair. If possible, if you could wash your hair 1-2 hours before the start of your session, that would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, we should still be able to get good data.
• If you wear eyeglasses or contacts, consider bringing lubricating eye drops to the study session. Computer tasks can dry out your eyes slightly and using some drops beforehand may make the session more comfortable.
