PSYC 020. EEG/ERP: Imaging the electrical activity of the brain

Electroencephalography (EEG) allows us to investigate electrophysiological responses in the brain that relate to cognitive processes. What is the EEG signal and how is it analyzed? What does the computation of event-related potentials (ERPs) tell us about the time course of brain processes? How do these techniques contribute to our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying language, development, attention, perception, and memory? This course will provide a foundation of knowledge and experience with methods, analyses and interpretation for consumers of research as well as those who intend to use EEG and ERP.
