The experimental work in the lab relies on different techniques: behavioral experiments, EEG, fMRI and intracranial recordings. Below we outline our research protocols, in terms of designing experiments, running them and analyzing the data. These protocols are based on current literature (e.g., Cumming, 2014, Psych Science; Simons et al., 2011, Psych Science) and on the work done in the Adolphs’ lab. Comments and suggestions are most welcome: mudrikli@tauex.tau.ac.il.
In our EEG analysis, we mainly follow Steve Luck’s “An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique”, as well as the two attached papers: Maris, E. and Oostenveld, R. (2007). Nonparametric statistical testing of EEG- and MEG-data. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 164(1), pp.177-190.
