STEM Summer Internship of 2018 (5/29-5/31)

Week Two of Summer Internship Blog Post 

SARA

• The Standardized Artifact Rejection Algorithm (SARA)  de-artifacted EEG is processed and compared with the relevant age bin of the qEEG-Pro database. Three pdf reports are created for the Linked Ears montage, the Laplacian (CSD) montage and the source-reconstructed signal using sLORETA. The qEEG-Pro reports consist of the following analyses:
  

  • FFT Absolute Power
  • FFT Relative Power
  • Phase Coherence
  • Alpha peak detection
  • Amplitude Asymmetry
  • Phase Lag
  • Comodulation (Cross-frequency power correlations)
  • Burst Metrics (Max burst power, FWHM, Interburst Interval, Bursts per second)
  • Extreme Z-score development (Age simulation analyses) *
  • Power Fluctuation Analyses *
  • Percentage Deviant Activity * 

  * Developed exclusively for guiding Neurofeedback protocol design.

Recruitment 

• Flyers, we prepared the flyer for recruiting participants. Participants are needed but it is quite difficult for participants to commit especially in the summer.  
• Announcement were done also by talking with students, staff and community members 
• For the recruiting purpose, we updated the blog by posting some pictures of the equipment and the work of the spring.
