High Density EEG
Electrical Geodesics, Inc (EGI) High Density EEG
The EGI GES 400 series includes the capability for 128 channel infant EEG or 256 channel adult EEG. Geodesic EEG electrodes are evenly spaced over the entire scalp, cheeks and back of the neck, allowing for dense and even sampling at a high spatial resolution. The system includes infant sensor nets that allow for longitudinal studies the first year of life and adult sensor nets. The system is expandable to MRI-compatibility. This system also interfaces with E-prime and Presentation software for evoked and event-related potentials. The system includes Net Station software that provides full acquisition, review and analysis functions with GeoSource source estimation software. The current system is capable of EEG-MEG simultaneous recordings. Data can be processed using Net Station or third party software.

Analysis approaches
- Event related potential (ERP) analysis: brain response of a specific sensory, cognitive, or motor event.
- Microstate analysis: neural dynamics across time.
- Functional connectivity: correlation and functional coordination between different brain areas
- Power spectrum analysis: frequency content or the distribution of EEG signal power over frequency.
- Source imaging: location of active sources in the brain
- Electromyography (EMG): the electrical activity of muscles and nerves.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): the electrical activity of the heartbeat.
- Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA): discriminate neural representations associated with stimuli, experimental condition, or participant’s phenotype.
