Electroencephalography is the neurophysiological measurement of electrical activity in the brain as recorded by electrodes placed on the scalp or, in special cases, subdurally or in the cerebral cortex. The resulting traces are known as an electroencephalogram (EEG) and represent a summation of post-synaptic potentials from a large number of neurons.

Brain Products EEG amplifiers are equipped with a number of noise reduction techniques such as active noise cancellation and active electrodes. High common mode rejection as well as low amplifier noise ensure maximum data quality. Our huge product range includes a range of electrodes and caps with custom or standard montages as well as a variety of requisite accessories.

In the BITSI simple protocol you will have to reset the code manually to 0.
<nowiki>
+
BITSI simple code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line>
 
#TemplateINFO.pcl
 
#TemplateINFO.pcl
   Line 32: Line 48:     
Oport.send_code(100);  #This is your marker code, range code 1-255
 
Oport.send_code(100);  #This is your marker code, range code 1-255
wait_interval(2);      #2ms delay for the code to be recorded by brainvision; 2ms->500hz sampling rate
+
wait_interval(4);      #4ms delay for the code to be recorded by brainvision; 2ms->500hz sampling rate so 2 samples available
Oport.send_code(0);    #Back to 0; now ready to send a new code</nowiki>
+
Oport.send_code(0);    #Back to 0; now ready to send a new code
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
In BITSI extended protocol the reset is done by a specific time set with the capital "T".
 +
BITSI extended:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line>
 +
#TemplateINFO.pcl
 +
 
 +
output_port Oport = output_port_manager.get_port( 1 );
 +
 
 +
#TemplateSUBS.pcl
 +
 
 +
#only specify this ones, then its valid for the full experiment
 +
Oport.send_string("T");  #Specify the pulse length time
 +
Oport.send_code(4);    #4ms delay for the code to be recorded by brainvision; 2ms->500hz sampling rate so 2 samples available
 +
 
 +
Oport.send_string("P");  #Specify its a pulse you want to send out
 +
Oport.send_code(100);    #This is your marker code, range code 1-255
 +
#Now it resets itself automatically to 0 after the specified time

Sampling of the EEG is done by the amplifier with 5000Hz fixed and either 1000Hz anti aliasing filter (normal) or 250Hz anti aliasing filter (MRI only!). Downsampling can be done realtime on the computer to 200, 250, 500, 1000, 2500 or 5000. An appropriate anti-aliasing filter should be selected for that as well, depending on the downsampling frequency.
