Beside of registration of the magnetic field (Magneto-encephalography, MEG) generated by the human brain the acquisition of the electric potentials at the head surface (Electro-encephalograpy, EEG) is of main interest in most of the neuro-physilogical studies applied at our institute.The facility therefore drives three units for EEG recordings on humans.
One EEG system integrated in the Neuromagnetometer system enables us to perform combined temporally fully synchronized MEG and EEG recordings.
A further portable and (f)MRI compatible EEG recording unit is used for simultaneous EEG and fMRI recordings.
A third system located in a electrically and acoustically shielded chamber (Faraday cage) is applied for standalone EEG recordings.
