Harrison – Day 10
- Yesterday we finally hooked Sophie up to the EEG. It was an interesting experience. The setup took longer than I expected. We had to manually put gel in each electrode and then connect the electrodes to the device. As this was our first time, Lydia and I might have put too much gel in some of the electrodes. At least we did not mess up to bad and we were able to get ok readings. Cleanup took a lot of time as well. Even with four people cleaning up it took a while because we had to handwash all of the equipment and make sure there was no leftover gel. After seeing Sophie hooked up to the EEG I do not think I ever want to do it. The cap looks uncomfortable and the amount of gel that gets in your hair is more than most people put in a month. However, watching the experiment was interesting, and I look forward to further my knowledge of EEG by continued experiments. Next time though, it is definitely Lydia’s turn and if I don’t ever have to be hooked up that is what I will choose. If we get to the MUSE headband part, it would be cool to use that as it much simpler.
- This morning, we had our final course in SolidWorks. We assembled the parts that we built in the previous course. This was a fun process, but it took me a while because I couldn’t figure out how to make the pin spin realistically. I am excited to see what is in store for this afternoon’s class.
The EEG was fun. Except for the gel in my hair.
