Analyzing Data Using EEGrunt

While looking for artifacts, we found out that the mystery band that's been showing up on our spectrograms are actually.... coherence bands!

Alpha 'bursts'

The famed 'coherence band'.

EEGrunt and Spectrograms

Dan playing music during the Chord Test! He is so talented!

We had Dan play piano chords, Beethoven, and Requiem for a Dream while we record test subjects EEG.

Using GitHub, Patrick and Nicolas from the High Altitude Balloon project came and coded for us in Python so we could use EEGrunt to analyze the data collected to create graphs and spectrograms. 

Data recorded on OpenBCI..

...created into a spectrogram!

Mini Field Trip!

Dan, Jenny, and Sheron looking so fly in the electric car!

How awesome! I got to ride a bike AND drive a care for the first time, at the same time!

Musical Brain Waves

Yesterday Alex, Dan, and Professor DiLauro went to the Ciccone Theater to use the Baby Grand piano. Dan is a great pianist, and played chords and compositions while Alex listened and was recorded.

Dan was also recorded while playing. 


Design and Manufacturing Event Field Trip!

Our EEG team went to the Design & Manufacturing Event NYC and the Javits Center. 
We had loads of fun! We mainly concentrated out time at MD&M booths, which is the 
Medical Design & Manufacturing East section. 

Professor DiLauro, Alex, Dan, Sana (me!), Jenny, and Sheron!

We were lucky enough to witness awesome technology at work, like die cut/press machines, Canon smart lenses, biomedical devices, large 3D printers, latex printers, ect. 

Sheron was so personable and was able to get a paid internship with Gibraltar Laboratories in Fairfield, NJ. GBL is a biotechnology, family owned a operated  provider of sterilization and analytical services to the biopharmaceutical, medical device, and related industries.

Congratulations Sheron!!!

This machine uses a die cut and plastic injection process to create 60 gallons of medical cups in 20 minutes!

A video of Dan playing the piano while we record EEG waves. He is so gifted!
