NeuraDock Tutorial: Open-Source EEG Workflow for Real-Time Cognitive Load Analysis.

The NeuraDock Agent tutorial introduces an open-source workflow designed for analyzing electroencephalography (EEG) data, specifically focusing on Alpha brainwave dynamics and visual cognitive load. This guide offers a practical, step-by-step approach for researchers and developers to install, preprocess, and perform quality control on EEG data. The system is unique in its ability to bridge the gap between traditional offline EEG analysis and real-time applications. It incorporates a quality-gated workflow, ensuring that Alpha dynamics and workload metrics are only computed after rigorous preprocessing and quality checks, rather than directly from raw EEG signals. The tutorial demonstrates how to generate Alpha dynamics figures, conduct within-subject comparisons for cognitive load, analyze public datasets, and integrate with an online dashboard and real-time API. It also includes an LLM interpretation layer to explain potential quality risks, making it a comprehensive solution for developing real-time visual cognitive-load prototypes.
