Hands-on Undergraduate Experiences Using Low-Cost Electroencephalography (EEG) Devices.
Article in Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Most methods used in cognitive neuroscience use expensive equipment that requires extensive training. This normally limits the hands-on experiences available to undergraduate neuroscience students, despite the known benefits of this type of learning. However, new commercially-available electroencephalography (EEG) systems aim to make the classic methodology available to laypeople, for instance, for the purposes of meditation practice. In this study, we evaluated the use of one such device - the Muse headband - to teach undergraduate neuroscience majors about cognitive neuroscience methodology and the research process. Students at Stonehill College practiced using the devices and then conceived, designed, and implemented their own experiments related to a topic of their choosing as part of a Research Methods in Neuroscience course. Objectively, students better retained material related to their experience compared with material only presented in lecture. Subjectively, they reported better understanding the material because of their experiences. They also reported that the experience made them more excited about studying neuroscience.
