EEG Set-up

In the Brain & Behaviour Lab, there are a total of 7  BioSemi systems. Three of them are permanently in B-447(A, B, & C). Two of them are rotated in the rooms of B-449(A, B, C, & D). The remaining two BioSemi systems can be used on request in B-449 (contact the Lab Coordinator). Usually the remaining two are also placed in the rooms of B-449. So, in practice the rooms all have an EEG system, but keep in mind that this is not always certain for two rooms in B-449! 

EEG Conduct 

The A/D-boxes and electrodes are expensive and sensitive equipment and should therefore be handled with equivalent care. So, there are a couple of basic rules that you should keep in mind when handling EEG:

• Never let a participant take an A/D-box with them when going someplace other than the experiment space (e.g., the toilet, taking a break, etc.).
• Do not bend the electrodes or be rough when attaching or disconnecting the electrodes to the inputs. 
• Do not bring electrodes in contact with metal surfaces as this may result in all sorts of damage. 
• Do not handle any fluid or other small particles near the A/D-box, anything going into the ports can damage the device permanently.
