Abstract
Recent advances in neuroscience and neural engineering have enabled researchers to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying complex human brain functions, which has led to a new recognition of the needs in clinical arenas. To this effect, electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely used due to several of its advantages, including noninvasiveness and cost-effectiveness. EEG provides information about electrical activities of neural functions collected typically with scalp electrodes. As EEG-based knowledge is expanding, EEG systems are being used in more sophisticated technologies including brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neuromodulation protocols. This type of noninvasive neuroimaging technique has growing applications in various fields including engineering, psychology and neuroscience, clinical and neurological domains, and neuromarketing. This chapter explains the fundamental principles of EEG signals and recording tools so that the reader can acquire the necessary knowledge about state-of-the-art EEG techniques and their corresponding challenges.
