Abstract

The student will be introduced to Python and the main techniques for analyzing evoked potentials. Next, the student will proceed with developing a Python toolbox for processing these signals, which will then be tested on high-density electroencephalographic potentials obtained from healthy and brain-injured patients in response to electrical stimulation of the median nerve and to transcranial magnetic stimulation of the cortex.
