This workshop will focus on hands-on training in the acquisition and analysis of EEG data. We will go in detail through the preprocessing steps required before the data can be analyzed. In data analysis, we will go through basic event-related potential methodology, as well as oscillatory analysis. Whereas event-related potentials are useful for event-related experiment designs, oscillatory analysis is helpful in scenarios where there are not such clear events. We will discuss both how to compute oscillatory power, as well as different measures of functional connectivity through brain oscillations, which may give a window on how different parts of the brain communicate. Finally, we will discuss how machine learning and other computational methods can be helpful to understand EEG data.

Resource person:
Dr. Marieke van Vugt, Assistant Professor at the Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence, University of Groningen, the Netherlands.
About The Instructor:
Dr. van Vugt has a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania and held a post-doctoral position at Princeton University before heading to the University of Groningen, where she is an assistant professor. Her research focuses on trying to understand why, how and when we mind-wander, using a combination of methods including computational modeling, behavioral experiments, and of course EEG. She also investigates how inter-brain synchrony is or is not relevant for social cognition in contexts as varying as tacit coordination, debating Tibetan Buddhist monks and dancers.
