Terms I had to look up #

Term My one-line definition Where I found it

Questions for Alex #

Session 2: electrode sketch #

Paste a photo of your from-memory sketch of Fp1, Fp2, F3, Fz, F4, C3, Cz, C4, P3, Pz, P4, O1, O2, T3/T7, T4/T8, and note anything you got wrong.

Lab 1 outputs (Module 06) #

  • [ ] Eyes-open spectrum
  • [ ] Eyes-closed spectrum
  • [ ] Alpha topomap (eyes closed)
  • [ ] Screenshot of one blink (which channels, how big?)
  • [ ] Screenshot of one muscle burst (which channels?)

Alpha peak frequency I found: ___ Hz, largest on channels: ___

Artifact cheat sheet (Module 05) #

Artifact What it looks like Where (channels) Frequency range How to deal with it
Blink
Lateral eye movement
Muscle / EMG
Heartbeat / ECG
Line noise
Electrode pop
Sweat / slow drift
Movement

Session 5: filtering in two sentences #

  • What a 1 Hz high-pass removes:
  • Why a 60 Hz notch is needed in Toronto:

Lab 2 write-up (Module 12): three sentences #

  1. Which ICA component I removed, and how I knew it was the blink:
  2. What changed in the frontal channels after removal:
  3. The three channels with the highest alpha power (if not occipital or parietal, what I re-checked):

Session 7: the neurofeedback loop #

Paste your from-memory drawing of the five-step loop, then one paragraph on how a reward/inhibit protocol works:

Session 8: HRV #

  • RMSSD measures:
  • LF/HF measures, and its main caveat:
  • The three HRV Training targets:

Checkpoints I cannot do yet #
