SSN-2024-068-JS - Compumedics SynAmps RT 128 Channel Electroencephalography (EEG) System

The Department of Psychology at Colorado State University intends to purchase a Compumedics SynAmps RT 128 Channel Electroencephalography (EEG) system. The Compumedics Synamps EEG system along with CSU’s existing SynAmps 64 channel EEG will be the is the primary instruction tool for processing and analysis of neuroimaging data at the CSU Cognitive Neuroscience laboratory.  It is intended to give students and researchers practical insight into what it means to study human behavior from the lens of a cognitive neuroscientist. Students are able to use EEG to go beyond basic understanding of human behavior and understand the neural underpinnings of thoughts, feelings, emotions and all types of cognition. The SynAmps RT 128 channel EEG system will enable a greater number of undergraduates to learn not only basic EEG measurement, but also source location.  The new system will allow further education and experience in understanding underlying systems that are involved in cognitive and emotional function, identifying research and clinical applications well-suited to EEG, and developing skills to understand how disruptions in the brain's electrical system can contribute to various psychiatric and neurological disorders.
