1:00 – 2:30 PM Robust Developmental EEG Practices from Collection to Analysis Workshop
Session Chair, Laurel Gabard-Durnam, Northeastern University, United States
This workshop will address how to collect and analyze high-density EEG in developmental populations with Magstim EGI systems and the Harvard Automated Processing Pipeline for Electroencephalography (HAPPE) software. Current best practices and strategies to promote robust, standardized data collection and analysis will be emphasized. Participants will be guided through processing publicly available developmental Magstim EGI data or their own data through HAPPE 2.0 software for resting-state EEG (HAPPE pipeline) and ERP analyses (HAPPE+ER pipeline). The workshop is suitable for both novice and experienced EEG users.

Testimonials from ISDP 2020 Virtual Meeting…
The live broadcast of pre-corded presentations and live discussions after were excellent.
Virtual poster session space was fantastic!
I’ve attended 4 virtual conferences this year and ISDP was the best!
Gathertown was a really great way to network and meet people!!
Really great execution of a virtual conference!
I liked the meeting room sessions, it felt like I was “walking into” a talk and not so zoom like.
