Multichannel EEG: towards applications in clinical neurology
Researcher: Wilma van de Wassenberg, PhD Other supervisors: Nico Leenders, MD, PhD, Han van der Hoeven, MD, PhD Thesis defense: 2008 (winner BCN Thesis award) Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures the electric activity produced by the brain with electrodes placed on the scalp. It is used for monitoring or as diagnostic tool for neurological disorders. In practice […]
Multichannel EEG visualization
Researcher: Michael ten Caat, PhD Other supervisor: Jos Roerdink, PhD Thesis defense: 2008 Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical brain activity by electrodes attached to the scalp. Multichannel EEG refers to a measurement with a large number of electrodes. EEG has clinical as well as scientific applications, including neurology, psychology, pharmacy, linguistics, and biology. In particular for […]
