Using high-density EEG, we aim to understand the temporal dynamics of human brain activity. 

EEG is a non-invasive technique for recording the electrical activity of the brain. Electrodes placed on the scalp measure electrical impulses produced when neurons communicate with one another. 

We employ a variety of EEG analysis techniques including event-related potential (ERP) analysis, time-frequency analysis and multivariate pattern classification.
