Workshop program - Friday, September 28 08:30 Welcome and openingA short welcome notice and introduction to the hosting research institute, the ULB, and its activities. 08:50 Introduction to ASA - Lab ASA-Lab is an innovative EEG/ERP recording and analysis system that offers the flexibility and accuracy needed for cognitive and clinical research applications. The main components and features of ASA-Lab, ranging from amplifier equipment to signal analysis and functional neuroimaging tools, will be introduced. 09:20 Data acquisition in real life: ERP hardware, caps, recording & stimulation A traditional attention paradigm will be used to demonstrate the features of ASA-Lab and in particular the hardware equipment in real life. The system will be applied in a realistic situation to acquire ERP and the complexity of practical EEG recordings will be tackled. 10:45 Coffee break 11:00 From the scalp to the brain: Fast and accurate signal processing in time and frequency domain, artefact correction and time-frequency decomposition applying wavelets The ASA-Lab signal processing tools will be presented. The ASA Experiment Manager is a recent addition to ASA-Lab which allows easy and intuitive organizing and processing of group data and will be explained in greater detail. In addition, the new ASA tools for ICA-based eye blink correction, frequency analysis, and wavelets will be presented. 13:30 Lunch break 14:30 Source analysis: Anatomical Localization of the Frontal N30 of somatosensory evoked potentials using swLORETA The recent work of Prof. Cherons group in collaboration with E. Palmero from ANT will be presented, which applies frequency domain source reconstruction to a very early component of somatosensory EP. 15:30 Source analysis: Introduction to ASA source localization methods Brief introduction to ASA source analysis methods: dipole methods, MUSIC, distributed source methods (Minimum-Norm, LORETA, swLORETA). Their characteristics and critical requirements for successful source localization will be briefly explained. 16:10 Source analysis: Source localization in frequency domain Introduction to ASA frequency domain source analysis 18:00 Summary and discussion 19:00 Social gathering | ||

Workshop program - Saturday, September 29 09:00 Case 1: Analysis of an ERP group studyWe will cover the complete analysis of a group study in an interactive way so that every participant is able to carry out basic signal analysis in ASA. 10:30 Interaction with Matlab and EEG-Lab Because of the raising interest in applying Matlab-based tools together with ASA, we will explain in detail how the tools can best be combined and how results can be exchanged. We will proceed with small code examples that allow Matlab signal processing and integration with ASA-Lab. 11:45 Coffee break 12:10 Special Applications: neurofeedback and BCI Brain-computer interface projects may benefit from a close interaction with existing tools. ASA-Lab is an open environment that offers a wealth of functionality for real-time data acquisition, processing and analysis and allows combination with other tools. Moreover, a complete library of tools for real-time object manipulation, such as sound, screen objects and movies, is available that permits neurofeedback applications and other machine interaction. 13:30 Lunch break 14:30 Special Applications: TMS and neuronavigation We will explore the area of TMS together with EEG/ERP as well as the topic of neuronavigation in Visor, which is a novel product in our line of research tools and integrates with ASA-Lab. 16:30 Final discussions 17:30 Closing | ||
