Origin, significance, and interpretation of EEG

This video lesson is part of a complete course on neuroscience time series analyses.
The full course includes
- over 47 hours of video instruction
- lots and lots of MATLAB exercises and problem sets
- access to a dedicated Q&A forum.

I wish I had met this channel earlier. it is very helpful. Thanks a lot 🌹

[dipankardey]

very clear to a novice in computational neuroscience. Thanks a ton for your videos

[mikhailreshetnikov]

Thank you very much for your videos!
I believe there's a misunderstanding on the EEG advantages slide, as you said that in your lecture EEG = MEG, although "temporal resolution and precision" is an advantage of EEG, whereas MEG has the spatial resolution advantage.

I enjoyed the lecture. I suspect you used an active reference on the EEG sample shown. The slow waves are identical on all channels probably related to contamination from the referential electrode.

Thank you for this video. It is very well explained! One thing I am still confused is related to interpreting the amplitude of ERP charts. Does negative amplitudes mean higher negative extracellular activity that can be interpreted as more neurons firing? And is that translated as a more red area in topography maps? Or how should I interpret the negative and positive amplitudes in ERPs? Thank you!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

And what is this about neurons being in the heart?

Doesn't that kinda undermine consciousness strictly being a head phenomena?

Sure, we've got to have it there, as our eyes, nose, mouth/tongue, ears, and even a fair amount of skin is up there, but that doesn't mean consciousness resides there!

Thanks Mike for the nice explanations. I am curious that this course will cover the ERP and ERSP analysis or not? Besides that kindly recommend me the Machine Learning course that is most related to the physiological data. Thanks in advance!

In a other video you said you mentioned phase locking and evoked and induced activity ? I didn't find this. I'm very confused on the meanings and differences between these concepts.

Sir will you please provide data sets for EEG signals. It is very much use full for my research .

[andrassarkozy]

anyonen please could share the actual sample dataset what he is working with? THX!
