=== Content ===

Forward and Backward Model of EEG; Event-related Potentials; Spatial Filters; Multivariate Analysis of Brain Signals; Single-Trial Classification of Spatio-Temporal Features; Regularized Discriminant Analysis; Interpretation of Spatial Patterns and Filters; Modulation of Brain Rhythms; Event-Related Synchronization and Desynchronization; Common Spatial Pattern Analysis; Classification of Spatio-Spectral Features; Coherency Analysis; Multi-Subject Learning; Experimental Design.


=== Requirements ===

Programming skills (Python); background in mathematics, in particular linear algebra and probability theory.

Helpful, but not obligatory: Knowledge in signal processing and machine learning.


=== Certificates ===

The grade is determined as 'Portfolioprüfung' according to § 47 (2) AllgStuPO with the grading system 2 of faculty IV. 

 * Exercises: Concurrent to the lecture, there will be a tutorial in which ten assignment sheets have to be solved. These are devoted to practical EEG analysis (programming). 
 * Written exams: In the first half and in the second half of the lecture, there will a written test of about 45 minutes.

Depending on the module (see next section), there are further courses and elements and make up the final grade.


=== Modules ===

This course is part of the following modules:

 * #40515 "Brain-Computer Interfacing (basic)" (6 LP) [[https://moseskonto.tu-berlin.de/moses/modultransfersystem/bolognamodule/ansehen.html?number=40515|IL]]
 * #40362 "Brain-Computer Interfacing" (9 LP) [[https://moseskonto.tu-berlin.de/moses/modultransfersystem/bolognamodule/ansehen.html?number=40362|IL + { SE or ND}]]


=== Material ===

 * Slides / exercises will be put on the ISIS page of the course.
