Abstract

Animations of scientific concepts can improve student comprehension by explicating and visualizing the steps of complex processes. This project demonstrates how best practices (backwards design, develop-test-revise cycles) and undergraduate inputs can lead to the creation of effective, undergraduate-level animations designed to explain neural signal generation in the brain for electroencephalography.
