EEG: Brain Vision Recorder Software

Overview

These are tips and tutorials for using BrainVision Recorder to record EEG data.

Procedure

When starting a project from scratch: 1. Connect the power supply to the amplifier and plug in the electrode bundle. 2. Start Recorder on the recording computer. 3. Select the amplifier in Recorder

  • Click on Configuration › Select Amplifier… and select your amplifier from the drop-down list.

  • You must start Recorder in administrator mode (see login info for directions).

  1. Create or open a workspace

    • A workspace saves all amplifier-specific settings and some basic project settings, for example filters, segmentation and averaging.

  2. Start monitoring

    • To check if the amplifier is working properly click on the button Start Monitoring. If no errors are encountered, EEG curves appear in Recorder window running from left to right.

    • At the end of the channel list there is a scaling bar that helps you to assess the signal size. If a small number of channels is displayed and there is enough space, a scaling bar is shown in front of every channel.

  3. Measure the impedances

    • When all channels show a signal, measure the impedances. This is an important step in your project.

  4. Record the data

    • From the impedance check you can switch directly to recording the data.

See the BrainVision Recorder manual for detailed instructions.
