BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR LAB The purpose of this research is to examine self-regulatory capacity and dynamics in 9 to 17 year olds. Self-regulation is assessed through participant self-report, computerized tasks and concurrent EEG recording, and parent report. Questions and tasks will focus on emotions, personality, and basic self-control capacity.
The EEG procedure includes the application of a 256-channel HydroCel Geodesic Sesor Net and heart-rate electrodes. Systematic subject satisfaction surveys have shown there is very minimal discomfort of the HydroCel Geodesic Sensor Net due to its lightweight design and the even pressure exerted by the dense array of sensors on the head. We measure what is happening at each of these electrodes during computer tasks that the participants complete. We are able to combine the information that is provided from our research participants to create a picture of where we can expect the brain to be active when dong different types of tasks.
