Short Description
256-channel "high-density" EEG with PhysioBox for external sensors as they are necessary for long-term recordings (e.g. of sleep). The Electrical Geodesic hdEEG system allows the simultaneous recording of 256 EEG channels as well as additional physiological channels such as eye activity, muscle activity or respiratory signals. The device has eeg caps that can be attached particularly quickly (for short-term recordings of about 1 hour) as well as special "gel-based" nets for long-term recording. The short-term nets are also available in small sizes, such as those needed for recordings in newborns and toddlers.
Visual and auditory stimulus performance takes place via separate laptops and is simultaneously fed into the EEG signal as a "trigger". Ambulatory (IR) cameras allow the recording of videos simultaneously to hdEEG recording. In addition to 3 stationary 32-channel EEG amplifiers (BrainAmp 32), the Core Facility EEG also includes 3x outpatient AlphaTrace EEG devices and 7x Becker Varioport devices. 12x Bittium Faros HRV Device, 90x Polar H10 Cheststrap are also available for recording heart activity and actigraphy, 20x Polar VeritySense Armstrap, as well as 30x camNtech MotionWatch 8 Actigraphs, 27x Actigraphcorp wGT3X-BT Actigraphs and 45x Xiaomi MiBand 3 available.

Research Services
EEG acquisition of projects related to’learning during sleep‘ (i.e., memory consolidation across sleep)
Information processing of auditory stimuli presented during sleep
“Baby EEG” right after birth as well as in toddlers
Recording of long-term polysomnography in patients who had a severe brain injury (VS/UWS and MCS) in to improve diagnostic and potentially also assist prognostic statements
Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
The main scientific application is in 3 areas:
(1) Application for long-term admissions in sleep-disturbed (insomnia) patients
(2) Use in adults and newborns for the registration of EEG/ECG/EMG data after acoustic stimulus performance
(3) Recordings during sleep in healthy subjects and research on the topic of "learning during sleep" as well as
(4) Evaluation of residual cognitive skills as well as sleep and wakefulness in post-comatose patients.
The methodological expertise lies in the field of sleep classification, as well as time-frequency research by means of wavelet analyses, phase calculations (PLI, PLV) or classic ERP analyses.
