A keen interest in psychology, neuroscience, and/or electrophysiology is the only real prerequisite for this course

No previous knowledge required – I will take you step by step through the different concepts

No specific materials are needed for this course, but taking notes is recommended

Description

Through comprehensive videos, you will learn about the fascinating science of EEG. Thanks to recent progress in neuroimaging techniques, both acad and commercial researchers, but also clinicians, are able to dive into the depths of the human brain and see how it shapes our perceptions and interactions with the world. One of the most versatile brain imaging techniques is EEG. EEG records the electrical activity that the brain produces, by using electrodes that are placed on the scalp. Measuring electrical activity from the brain is useful because it reflects how the many different neurons in the brain network communicate with each other via electrical impulses.

This course was designed, top to bottom, by an experienced instructor who is an expert in the field of cognitive neuroscience. The information is presented in an engaging, easy-to-understand format. It is primarily for people who want to venture into this field as well as those who are excited about neuroscience and psychology, and want to explore various applications related to the brain.
