New equipment and new space!
We have recently upgraded equipment and the testing facilities. For example two new dedicated testing booths, a new 64 electrode ActiChamp system, a new LiveAmp system with R-Nets caps (Brain Products), Chronos (Psychology software tools), new licenses etc etc.
Very exciting!

EEG training workshop – 20-21 June
We will be running a two-day EEG training workshop on 20-21 June (£700 per attendee). This workshop is aimed for those with little or no previous background in EEG research.
It will cover some theory but mainly hands on training on how to design a study, collect and analyse EEG data and present the findings.
Get in touch for more information.

Paper in principle accepted in Cortex!
Jones, Yarrow and Silas (2018). Are alpha oscillations generated by the somatosensory cortex involved in tactile attention? A registered report using transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS)
We have, finally, had our pre-registered report in principle accepted (IPA) in the jounral Cortex. This means, we now need to collect data and the paper will be published regardless of the results.
To see the paper, Introduction and methods (results and discussion obviously not available yet), have a look here
We have also uploaded supporting materials, including reviewers comments. All which may be useful if you are thinking of doing a pre-registered report yourself.

Moving the lab
It took us a bit longer than expected but we have moved the lab to the room next door. Jon sorted the wires, Tony did the heavy lifting, and Alex mainly drank tea.
