The Brain of Great Athletes: Mobile EEG in Sports

Mobile EEG is reshaping sports science by enabling high-quality brain recordings in real athletic environments. Research shows that neural patterns differ across athletes, tasks, and sports. These findings reveal how attention, cognitive load, and motor coordination manifest in real time. This opens pathways to individualised performance optimisation, neurofeedback, and future applications in rehabilitation and human performance monitoring.

How Volume Conduction Affects Your EEG Data

Understanding volume conduction is essential for accurately interpreting EEG data, as electrical signals don't travel in a straight line from their brain source to the electrodes on your scalp. This phenomenon causes signals to spread and interact, potentially leading to misinterpretations of neural activity. Learn how to mitigate these complex effects and gain more precise insights into brain function.
