Electro-encephalography (EEG)

EEG is a non-invasive technique that can measure brain activity. The neural activity generates electrical signals that are recorded by EEG electrodes placed on the scalp. When an individual is engaged in performing a cognitive task, brain activity changes and these changes can be recorded on the EEG graph. Therefore, it is a powerful tool for cognitive scientist aiming to better understand the neural correlates associated with different aspects of cognition, which will ultimately help them...

Non-restraining EEG radiotelemetry is a valuable methodological approach to record in vivo long-term electroencephalograms from freely moving rodents. This detailed protocol describes stereotaxic epidural and deep intracerebral electrode placement in different brain regions in order to obtain reliable recordings of CNS rhythmicity and CNS related behavioral stages.

Biomarkers in an Animal Model for Revealing Neural, Hematologic, and Behavioral Correlates of PTSD

We describe a rat model of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that reveals the persistent alterations in neuroendocrine function and the delayed long-term, exaggerated fear response, characteristic of PTSD patients. The animal model and methods described here are useful for correlating biomarkers in brain nuclei, which are mechanistic but cannot be measured in patients, with biomarkers in peripheral white blood cells, which can.
FAQs
Oscillatory power shows how strongly EEG activity is represented across different frequency bands, making it possible to quantify changes in rhythmic brain activity rather than relying only on visual inspection. Comparing this feature across recordings can help characterize brain states or distinguish patterns associated with sleep, cognition, epilepsy, or other neurological and psychiatric conditions.
Event-related potentials and oscillatory power capture different measurable aspects of an EEG recording. Frequency-based measures describe activity across bands, whereas event-related potentials provide another type of feature for characterizing neural responses. Using these alternatives allows researchers to select indicators suited to the brain process, condition, or treatment-related change under investigation.
Signal complexity and connectivity patterns expand EEG biomarker analysis beyond the strength of activity in individual frequency bands. Complexity describes characteristics of the recorded signal, while connectivity patterns provide a complementary view of relationships within brain activity. Together, these measures can support more detailed characterization of neural function and differences between brain states or conditions.
A basic workflow begins with scalp electrodes detecting voltage changes produced by synchronized neuronal activity. Researchers then analyze the recording to extract selected features, such as frequency-band power, event-related potentials, signal complexity, or connectivity patterns. The resulting quantitative measures can be examined across participants, conditions, or repeated sessions to evaluate neural function and change over time.
EEG biomarkers support investigations of sleep, cognition, epilepsy, and other neurological or psychiatric conditions. Because recordings enable noninvasive monitoring, researchers can characterize brain states without relying solely on behavioral or clinical descriptions. Repeated measurements also help track how neural activity changes over time, making the approach relevant to longitudinal studies and treatment evaluation.
Quantitative EEG features can help organize patients into groups with distinct neural characteristics, supporting patient stratification in research and clinical evaluation. The same measures may contribute to outcome prediction or indicate treatment response by providing objective information about brain activity. These uses strengthen efforts to develop more measurable endpoints for assessing neurological and psychiatric interventions.
