EEG Applications

Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases, are often associated with abnormal brain activity patterns. EEG is used to monitor and analyze these patterns, providing valuable insights into brain function, deepening our understanding of the disorder, and aiding in the assessment of treatment effectiveness.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)

Developmental Neuroscience

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) enable direct communication between the brain’s electrical activity and an external devices. EEG is commonly used in BCIs to monitor brain waves, allowing users to control prosthetics, computers, or other technology, such as a robotic limb, through thought. This technology is used in rehabilitation and assistive devices for individuals with motor impairments.

Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology studies the relationship between the physiological processes of the nervous system and behavior or cognition. EEG is commonly used to assess brain activity and its connection to the cognitive processes and helps explore how psychological disorders may affect cognition and behavior.

Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience

Sleep Research

Hyperscanning

Sports Science

Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience examines the neural mechanisms underlying human thought processes. EEG is used to monitor brain activity, providing insights into processes like attention, memory, learning, language, and decision-making.

Developmental neuroscience focuses on understanding the development of the brain across the lifespan. EEG can be used to study brain wave patterns in children adolescents, and adults to better understand the normal and atypical brain maturation, as well as developmental disorders like autism or ADHD.

Sleep research investigates the brain during sleep. EEG is used for studying sleep characteristics and patterns, identifying disruptions such as insomnia, sleep apnea, or narcolepsy, and providing insights into how sleep affects cognitive and physical health.

Hyperscanning involves simultaneous EEG recordings from two or more individuals to study brain activity during social interactions. It helps researchers explore neural synchronization, empathy, and communication patterns to advance understanding of social collaboration in neuroscience. 

EEG can be used to evaluate brain function during exercise. In sports science, EEG is used to study brain function related to performance, focus, and recovery. It helps understand how mental states like stress or concentration may impact athletic performance.

Multimodal EEG

Multimodal functional neuroimaging allows for the assessment of two or more complementary features of brain activity to expand the knowledge about brain functioning and neuronal behavior. It is done by combining a measure of electrical activity, like EEG, with a measure of hemodynamic activity, like functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

HD-EMG Applications

Examples of what you can do with HD-EMG:

  • Muscle Fiber Properties
    Investigate the characteristics and behavior of muscle fibers to gain insights into muscle physiology.

  • Spatial Muscle Mapping
    Conduct detailed spatial mapping of muscle activity for comprehensive analysis of muscle behavior, synergy, and function.

  • Motor Unit Decomposition
    Record and evaluate individual motor units to explore neuromuscular function.

Body Mechanics and Motor Control

Body mechanics is a term used to describe the coordinated effort of muscles, bones, and the nervous system to maintain balance, posture, and alignment during movement. HD-EMG is used to study muscle activation patterns during movement, and helps assess efficiency and coordination in tasks like walking, lifting, or sports performance.

Human-Computer Interaction & Robotics

Ergonomics

Human-computer interaction focuses on the interface between humans and computers. HD-EMG can be used to track muscle signals to enable intuitive control of devices. By interpreting muscle activity, users can interact with technology or control prosthetics and robotic systems through natural movements.

Sport Science and Performance

HD-EMG can be used in sports science to evaluate muscle activty during exercise. HD-EMG monitors muscle activation to evaluate performance, optimize training, and reduce injury risk. It helps athletes improve muscle coordination, endurance, and overall efficiency during physical activities.

Neuromuscular Disorders & Rehabilitation

Neuromuscular disorders are disorders that affect the peripheral nervous system, the neuromuscular junction, or skeletal muscles. HD-EMG is used to assess muscle function in these disorders, aiding in better understanding and rehabilitation of conditions like ALS, MS, or stroke.

In ergonomics, HD-EMG is used to assess muscle strain and posture during repetitive tasks, helping design workspaces or tools that reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. It provides insights into muscle fatigue and optimal body alignment.
