Experimental designs and setups

Boosting the amplitude of small electrophysiological signals for accurate recording and analysis.

Unwanted power in certain frequency bands (e.g., excessive line noise or artifact power) degrading signal quality.

EEG feature representing signal power within standard frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma).

A filter that blocks frequencies within a specific range.

A reference period where no experimental manipulation occurs; used to compare the effects of interventions.

Systematic error or deviation from true values that affects experimental validity or measurement accuracy.

A measurement of the speed at which information is transferred from the subject to the processing unit.

A method in which subjects and/or experimenters are kept unaware of critical aspects to prevent bias in outcomes.

Experimental setup in which trials with the same condition are presented consecutively before switching.

A study involving multiple subjects that assesses the efficacy of a proposed intervention

A specific time period during which a subject receives an intervention or undergoes an assessment or both.

Percentage of experimental instructions or tasks correctly completed by subjects, indicating protocol adherence.

Group of subjects not receiving the primary experimental manipulation, serving for comparison to assess effects.

Technique ensuring all possible orders of experimental conditions are tested to control for order effects.

Experimental design where subjects receive multiple interventions in a random sequence with washout periods.

A method for assessing long-range temporal correlations and self-similarity in non-stationary EEG signals.

Experimental design carried out in naturalistic, real-world settings rather than in controlled laboratories.

A single segment of time-series data. It is typically a part of a longer continuous signal that involves a specific event of interest.

Experiment where trials are randomized and interspersed, enabling analysis of transient responses to events.
