You need to enter the parameters of your segmentation and averaging procedure. Please use Luck (2005), An Introduction to ERPs, for more information on filter settings. These settings will change based on your experiment and research questions. Click “Next.”Įnsure that you use all the appropriate filter settings. It is recommended that you select a band-pass filter (combination of high and low cut-off filters) of 0.1 to 200Hz on this screen before moving on. Make sure that the number of channels is shown as 64 under “Channels/Rate.” You can use the default settings (sampling rate of 1KHz or 1000Hz) unless otherwise needed.

If both amps are on, you will see that both are selected under “Scanned Amplifiers.” Be sure that you have the appropriate 64-channel electrode position file we have all the templates you need for our setup in the “Work Files” folder. Click “Scan for amplifiers” in the top left. Make sure that the amplifiers are powered on and that they are connected to the recording PC. You are now at the “Amplifier Settings” page. You need to create a folder, calling it something like “Raw EEG data.” Click “Next.” The “Raw File Folder” text box is used to specify where the raw EEG data will be stored. You will need to set up a workspace in Brain Vision recorder before collecting data.Īn “Edit Workspace” window will open. Setting up a workspace in Brain Vision Recorder The lab uses both E-Prime and Paradigm, but you can use whatever software you like if it is EEG compatible. You will need to build your own experiment using a presentation software. Once logged in, open the Brain Vision Recorder application. Choose the username labelled with a sticker on each PC and the password “Pass4EEG!”. When this computer starts up, you will be asked which user to log in as. The dongle will display a light when functioning properly. One computer is labelled “Stimulus PC” and the other is labelled “Recorder PC.” Ensure that the Brain Vision analyser dongle is inserted into the front USB drive of the Recorder PC. Make sure the two computers in the main lab space are powered on. If not, you may have booked it under another calendar by mistake, in which case edit it to make sure other people will be able to see that the room is booked. Click here to go back to the Lab Manual contents.īook the lab via Google Calendar (email or if you don’t have access.) Make sure that the lab booking is booked under “Room 141 (Psycholinguistics Lab Cubicle)” – once booked, the time should appear with a yellow background on Google Calendar. It assumes you are running the experiment using Brain Vision recorder and that you are using the 64-channel actiCap system in the lab.
