Continuing our discussions on complexity in various applications (see our previous blog posts on Complexity in consciousness and in Parkinson’s), here we have applied the concept to a very interesting scenario together with our partners HMGU and INSERM within our…
There is growing interest for implementing tools to monitor cognitive performance in naturalistic and everyday work environments. An emerging field of research, known as Neuroergonomics, promotes the use of wearable and portable brain monitoring sensors to investigate cortical activity in…
EEG can be used to investigate abnormal brain activity in neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer or Authism. EEG biomarkers are capable of detecting atypical neural patterns that can be used to distinguish between patient groups and a healthy population….
EEG is in the Air “I’m looking up because that is where I want to be” Anonymous … most likely an aviator. Brain imaging techniques are usually cumbersome and require to be used in controlled lab environments to avoid the…
