Collura Technical Foundations of Neurofeedback
Tuesday, Feb
8
8-12, 1-5
This workshop will
describe the technical foundations of the practice of neurofeedback,
including the neurophysiological, electronic, and computer aspects. A
signal is traced from its origin in the brain, through the
instrumentation, until a visual or auditory feedback signal is presented
to the trainee. Principles to be covered include amplifier
characteristics, digitization, filtering, graphics and sound, and feedback
algorithms. Technical data in the form of digital traces, timing
measurements, and statistical summaries, will be presented and discussed.
Material covered will not be specific to any particular instrument, and
will pertain to all types of equipment.
Each participant will
have the opportunity to articulate the technical foundations of EEG
neurofeedback, including neurophysiology, electronics, signal processing,
and user-interfacing. Understand specifications such as bandwidth,
accuracy, and response time, in scientific and engineering terms. |
