Fundamentals of system theory – laboratory
Due to the desire to correlate your classes with the IT topic, the scope of the material during the laboratory classes will concern brain-computer technology, as an example of a system in automation.
Information on the organization of laboratories for Fundamentals of system theory:
1. Each student gets to know the equipment at the Neuroscience Laboratory. According to the schedule below.
For one group of two students there is one Emotiv EPOC + NeuroHeadset device.
1. Organizational classes.
2. The first attempt to start the device in groups of three. Each Student prepares a laboratory report separately at the 01.12.2022.
Each Student describes the Emotiv EPOC + NeuroHeadset device. You should pay attention to the fact what are the parameters of its work. I recommend the manufacturer’s website.
2. Calibration attempt with the device – in groups. Each Student prepares a laboratory report separately at the 01.12.2022.
Each Student describes in our own words the calibration process with the device based on information from the manufacturer.

12.01.2023 – Assessment of Report No. 2.
The Report no. 1 should contain information:
1. Title page with the author of the work
2. Test days and basic data about the examined person: age, sex
3. Characterizing the measurement system: device and System 10-20
4. Presentation of research results with a description of what they concern. Each student takes measurements on himself or his colleagues in order to collect data. This data should be reported in the Laboratory Report.
For this purpose, screenshots from the Emotiv Control Panel application, tabs: Headset Setup, Expressive Suite, Cognitive Suite and Emotiv Test Bench, 3D Brain Visualizer, Brain Activity Map should be presented.
5. Commentary on the research results obtained.
Student’s task is to learn in practice the brain-computer technology, including the Emotiv EPOC + NeuroHeadset device. During the classes, work with the device is verified. Calibrate with it. Tests of applications attached to the device, including: EPOC Control Panel, Xavier Control Panel, Mouse Emulator, 3D Brain Visualizer, Brain Activity Map, Emotiv Xavier TestBench including FFT module, EmoBot, EmoKey, Neuro MouseControl, Spirit Mountain, Cortex Arcade, Axo.
