The human brain is the focus of interest for many branches of science and industry. EEG machines are currently
the most accessible means of offering some insight into the electrical activity of the brain. The nature of the signal
is highly specific, with its own strengths and weaknesses. The availability of a new generation of EEG acquisition
devices is behind the boom in the use of the signal across disciplines. As a result, a significant number of studies
are legitimately emerging that form judgments about the nature of the human psyche based on EEG data. It is an
advantage for a psychologist to be able to navigate such judgments, to be able to assess their grounding in the
data and in knowledge about the human brain in general. Meaningfully incorporating EEG as a source of objective
data into psychological research need not be a complicated matter; it is sufficient to learn a few basic principles.
The goal of this practice-oriented course is to explain these few basic principles in an understandable way. The
theoretical sessions will be followed by a workshop where students will try working with the instrument or design
their own study of the human brain.
