聯We are piloting the experiment for these students聮 thesis experiments. They were piloting Hannah聮s experiment. She聮s interested in looking at the extent to which visual masking actually inhibits perception. So when you take a visual mask, you take an image followed by another image, you聮re impaired at understanding the first image. The question is why. So what we聮re going to do is take the neural activity that we聮re measuring. And the nice thing about EEG is that it measures millisecond by millisecond electrical potentials that are generated in the brain , we measure them from the scalp. And we can see over time what the brain is processing and we use machine learning, we put these signals into a computer system tha t reads out the extent to which there is information about what the picture is. We聮re wondering, does that information persist when you change the image? Does that persist over time? Hannah聮s made the experiment, and we are going to try it out to make sure everything聮s ready for participants.聰?
