Brain Signal Analysis: Advances in Neuroelectric and Neuromagnetic Methods

Cognitive electrophysiology concerns the study of the brain's electricaland magnetic responses to both external and internal events. These can be measuredusing electroencephalograms (EEGs) or magnetoencephalograms (MEGs).

Cognitive electrophysiology concerns the study of the brain's electricaland magnetic responses to both external and internal events. These can be measuredusing electroencephalograms (EEGs) or magnetoencephalograms (MEGs). With the adventof functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), another method of tracking brainsignals, the tools and techniques of ERP, EEG and MEG data acquisition and analysishave been developing at a similarly rapid pace, and this book offers an overview ofkey recent advances in cognitive electrophysiology. The chapters highlight theincreasing overlap in EEG and MEG analytic techniques, describing several methodsapplicable to both; they discuss recent developments, including reverse correlationmethods in visual-evoked potentials and a new approach to topographic mapping inhigh-density electrode montage; and they relate the latest thinking on designaspects of EEG/MEG studies, discussing how to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio aswell as statistical developments for maximizing power and accuracy in data analysisusing repeated-measure ANOVAS.ContributorsDenis Brunet, Douglas Cheyne, Marzia DeLucia, Sam M.
