EEG Coherence

In the EEG Cohorence task, young children passively watch 60-second video clips depicting singing women (created by Sabine Hunnius and colleagues) or moving toys (used earlier by Jones et al., 2015) while Electrocardiography (EEG) is measured. The task lasts approximately 6 minutes, where both sets of videos last 60 seconds.

Continuous EEG was recorded using a 32-channel ActiveTwo BioSemi system (Amsterdam, Netherlands), configured to the standard International 10-20 System (channels: 28 lateral channels FP1/2; F7/8; F3/4; AF3/4; FC1/2, FC5/6, C3/4, T7/8, CP1/2, CP5/6, P3/4, P7/8, O1/2, PO3/4, plus 4 midline channels Fz, Cz, Pz, Oz). For some children, an additional eye-electrode was placed behind the child’s left eye (Ex3), and/or additional loose electrodes were positioned at the mastoids (Ex1-2). Electrodes offset were less than 20μv. The EEG data were recorded relative to common mode sense and driven right leg (CMS/DRL) electrodes placed near Cz. Continuous EEG was acquired at a 2048Hz sample rate using Actiview (version 7.05) from a Dell latitude E5540 laptop (operating system Windows 10 Professional; in lab 0.41 version details: i5-4310U CPU @ 2,00 GHz 2,60GHz 8GB; in lab 0.42, version details: i3-4010U CPU @ 1,70 GHz 1,70GHz 4GB). Tasks were programmed in Matlab using Psych-Toolbox 3 (Brainard & Vision, 1997) from a second laptop (MacBookPro 11,1 13 inch retina OSX 10.9.5 Intel Core i7 2,8 GHz 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3).
