EEG is a widely used, non-invasive functional neuroimaging method. For several decades, EEG has been an essential technique in both neurological diagnostics and research, particularly in psychology, as it bears little to no risks for the participant.
The electrical activity generated by the brain is detected and recorded from the scalp surface via numerous electrodes. These electrodes are usually mounted on the subject's head with the aid of an elastic cap. A few areas of the scalp are briefly cleansed with alcohol before applying an electrolyte peeling paste at the electrode sites; this allows the signal to be easily detected. In very rare cases, slight skin irritations may occur. After completing an EEG experiment, the participants will have the opportunity to wash and blow dry their hair on site.
The EEG data are used solely for basic scientific purposes and are not assessed by medical diagnostics. This means, we do not explicitly examine the data for pathological changes. However, should we accidentally notice a peculiarity in the data, we would point this out to you and recommend further diagnostic clarification.
Individuals who cannot participate in EEG studies?
- People who are bald
- People with dreadlocks
- People with neurological or psychiatric disorders
- People who are allergic to electrolyte gels
