We had a short course on EEG electrode placement and data acquisition yesterday (Sunday, 25 August 2019@Advanced Electronic Lab, P19A). We were joined by our colleagues from SKE and also our PhD students. The course started off with a talk delivered by AP Dr. Norlaili, the head of the lab. Among the topics covered by Dr. Norlaili were introduction to EEG signal, its source, the anatomy and functions of the human brain, as well as the rhythms of the brain.

The next session was a hands-on one during which we were to produce a wire-made model of the EEG cap that help determining EEG channels positioning on the scalp.

Taha the handy-man is working on the model based on Sayyid’s head size…while Dr Syahida and Fatini assisting him….

Taha beaming with pride with the final product modelled by Sayyid…well obviously we had fun in the lab…

The remaining of the session were allocated on demos using the two versions of EEG – the Russian made (a new machine) and the Japanese produced (slightly seasoned one but still works brilliantly).

Tarmidzi showed us how to apply gels on the scalp….gels work as conductors…
