Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings provide a valuable, noninvasive method for measuring human brain activity This protocol modifies our general protocol for EEG recording (Farrens et al , 2019) for use during the COVID-19 pandemic It was created with the help of numerous experts, and it specifies a clear set of steps for interacting with research participants, using personal protective equipment (PPE), and disinfecting equipment, all with the goal of reducing the COVID-19 risks for both laboratory personnel and participants It focuses on the use of EEG in relatively simple research studies of adults who can easily understand and follow instructions, yet can be readily adapted for studies using other types of EEG experiments or other participant populations
