Electroencephalography (EGG) 1

Lab Abstract and Objectives:

• To record an EEG from an awake, resting subject with eyes open and eyes closed.
• To identify and examine alpha, beta, delta, and theta components of the EGG complex.
• Brain waves were analyzed while EEG was being recorded.

Participants perform an EGG on live subject and record data on BioPac software. 

Testing Equipment On Live Subjects

Lab Abstract and Objectives: To observe and record skeletal muscle as reflected by a basal level of electrical activity associated with the muscle in a resting state. To observe and correlate motor unit recruitment with increased power of skeletal muscle contraction. After data had been recorded the group listened to the EMG "sounds" and correlated sound intensity with motor unit recruitment.

Subject with attached electrodes to the BioPac MP36 machine.

BioPac Sytems Inc. Software recording live data.

10/7/15

Students and faculty continue working on tutorials of the BIOPAC system, to better understand the program usages. We reviewed some of the labs that we hope to begin working on next week. We labeled the three designated STEM Alienware computers as EEG Primary, EEG Secondary, and EEG Third, to ensure that we are consistently using the same computers.

EEG Brain Study Project Gets Underway

Meeting Three 10/1/15

• Software was uploaded onto two additional personal computers today. Students continue to review tutorials before using the equipment. We are working on the BSL :Biopac Student Lab 4.1 , the first lab.

Second Meeting 9/30/15

• More interested interested students showed up to participate in our EEG Brain Studies. Software was uploaded onto three Alienware computers now contain the software and two additional personal computers were uploaded as well. Students began reviewing the tutorials for the program.

First Meeting - 09/23/15

• Our first meeting was held in which a presentation to students on the basic operations of the EEG technology was that will like given.  Discussion   of the safety requirements and potential studies ideas were discussed.
