Tools that help us peep into the brain: Part I

We are excited to share the variety of tools and devices we have got in our lab, it's a little showoff but we anyway like it! So first we get to see all the EEGs we have got in the lab. Let's start with the supreme of all - The 64-Channel ActiChamp Wet EEG worn by our favourite lab mate.  Next, we have OpenBCI Ultracortex "Mark IV". We still don't understand the reason why it's written like that, but for more info on that, check out their website (https://openbci.com). It's a pretty cool device when it comes to naming the components of this EEG, it's got channels named CytonDaisy, isn't it cool? We enjoyed working with the device on a few projects studying attention components in the brain. The next one and the last one on the list is Dreem 2 coming from https://dreem.com. And yes, that relates to 'Dream' because this one is a dry polysomnography device, at least this is what the website says. We tried to do some sleep research with it but

STEM Workshop: Introducing Cognitive Science.

Introducing Cognitive Science to youth of the country! The STEM workshop is annually held at Dayalbagh Educational Institute for school students in the region. This is to introduce to them the present trends in science and research. We took it to ourselves to enlighten the students about various aspects of Cognitive science as well as its applications in real world based on our research tools.  This is our team headed by Prof. C.M. Markan pictured in the Cognitive Science Lab, DEI, Agra after the workshop. Watch our supervisor, Prof. Markan talking to young students. Throughout the workshop talks, the students were introduced with the facts related to the most interesting organ Brain, as well as its fascinating evolution through time.  Interesting tools were demonstrated to the students. In the picture is Open BCI tool being worn by a team member performing different cognitive activities to show changes in neural activities.  Each member of the Cognitive Science Research Group shared t
