Research Focus
Dr. Scott Makeig's lab focuses on advancing the understanding of human brain dynamics through the development of the EEGLab software, which analyzes electroencephalography (EEG) data. This research is crucial for non-invasive brain imaging and studying cognitive processes. The lab integrates various modalities of brain imaging to enhance our interpretation of brain function, benefiting both basic and clinical neuroscience research.
