In addition to the performances, we are excited to offer a workshop on motion capture technology on February 7, 2025. This workshop is perfect for researchers, engineers, system developers, and anyone interested in the practical applications of this cutting-edge technology.
EEG workshop: Pros and cons of a stationary vs. a mobile EEG system
Joint workshop organized by Lund University (LU) Humanities Lab and LiLa-lab (Linnaeus University) – Huminfra partners
In this workshop, we will compare and contrast a stationary EEG system with low impedance caps (Neuroscan and Easycap) and a mobile EEG system with active electrodes (BrainProducts and actiCAP). We will go over the advantages and disadvantages of these systems. Participants will be able to try capping with both systems, and we will jointly look at and discuss the data acquisition systems (Curry 7 and BrainProducts).
About the event:
3 February 2025 09:00 to 16:00
