“…Eighty-four years passed since Hans Berger recorded the first human electroencephalogram, thus the creation of EEG (Berger, 1929; La Vaque, 1999). Methods and applications have come a long way since then.…”

EEG involves the recording, analysis, and interpretation of voltages recorded on the human scalp which originate from brain gray matter. EEG is one of the most popular methods of studying and understanding the processes that underlie behavior. This is so, because EEG is relatively cheap, easy to wear, light weight and has high temporal resolution. In terms of behavior, this encompasses actions, such as movements that are performed in response to the environment. However, there are methodological difficulties which can occur when recording EEG during movement such as movement artifacts. Thus, most studies about the human brain have examined activations during static conditions. This article attempts to compile and describe relevant methodological solutions that emerged in order to measure body and brain dynamics during motion. These descriptions cover suggestions on how to avoid and reduce motion artifacts, hardware, software and techniques for synchronously recording EEG, EMG, kinematics, kinetics, and eye movements during motion. Additionally, we present various recording systems, EEG electrodes, caps and methods for determinating real/custom electrode positions. In the end we will conclude that it is possible to record and analyze synchronized brain and body dynamics related to movement or exercise tasks.

“…The first person who decided to place two electrodes connected to the galvanometer on the scalp was Richard Caton (in 1875) [10,15]. The father of electroencephalography is Hans Berger, who, nearly 50 years later, recorded first proper human signals [15,16].…”

“…Hans Berger started his research on human EEG already in 1920 and published his first report in 1929, he was able to distinguish the alpha frequencies as the major EEG component [10,16]. He was the first one to record sleep spindles and to observe the hypoxia effect on the human brain or nature of some brain disorders such as epilepsy.…”

This paper covers a brief review of both the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of various smoothing filters in the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data for the purpose of potential medical diagnostics. The EEG data are very prone to the occurrence of various internal and external artifacts and signal distortions. In this paper, three types of smoothing filters were compared: smooth filter, median filter and Savitzky–Golay filter. The authors of this paper compared those filters and proved their usefulness, as they made the analyzed data more legible for diagnostic purposes. The obtained results were promising, however, the studies on finding perfect filtering methods are still in progress.

“…This has its roots in the historical order of interest in different EEG oscillations, documented as letters from the beginning portion of the Greek alphabet. 4 Rhythms of different frequencies were noticeable to the naked eye in analog EEG signals, and those most noticeable attracted our interest first. This is somewhat akin to contemporary astrophysicists still using references to the constellations.…”

What about β? Relationship between pain and EEG spindles during anaesthesia

With the progressive ageing of the population, anaesthetists are increasingly faced with geriatric patients. As our patient population greys, there have been regular calls to limit anaesthetic exposure in older patients out of fear of overdose. The current concern regarding postoperative cognitive dysfunction weighs heavily on some patients' minds, while anaesthetists ponder the significance of the 'triple low' as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. 1 2 Anecdotally, elderly patients take a variable, but prolonged, amount of time to recover from anaesthesia relative to younger patients. The open question remains, how and Editorials | i5
