Primary outcomes

EEG - event related oscillations

Time frame: Baseline-6 week

In our research, EEG recordings will be made with the Brain Vision Recorder (Brainproduct, Munich, Germany) device. Recording will be made on 30 channels with 0.1-250 Hz band pass and 500 sample rate features. An elastic cap with 32 Ag-AgCl electrode placement will be used as the cap. The placement of electrodes will be made according to the international 10-20 system and includes FP1, FP2, F7, F3, FZ, F4, F8, FT7, FC3, FCZ, FC4, FT8, T7, C3, CZ, C4, T8, TP7, CP3, CPZ. Recordings will be taken from the electrodes CP4, TP8, P7, P3, PZ, P4, P8, O1, OZ and O2. Additionally, two connected electrodes (A1+A2) will be placed on the front of both earlobes as a reference, and the ground electrode will be placed on the back of the right earlobe. In addition, electrodes placed in the medial upper part and lateral orbital part of the left eye will be used for EOG recording. During shooting, care will be taken to ensure that the impedance values of the electrodes are below 10 kΩ.
