NeuraDock Visual Cognitive Load Agent Tutorial: A Quality-Gated Open-Source EEG Workflow for Alpha Dynamics and Real-Time Applications

Abstract (arXiv)
This tutorial paper provides a step-by-step, reproducible walkthrough of NeuraDock Agent, an open-source EEG agent focused on Alpha dynamics and visual cognitive-load analysis. The goal is practical: a reader should be able to install the agent, run EEG preprocessing and quality control, generate Alpha dynamics figures, perform within-subject Rest/Task visual cognitive-load comparison, run the public mini-dataset analyses and compare them with the reference validation summary, start an online dashboard, call the real-time API from an external application, and use the LLM interpretation layer to explain quality risks. Existing EEG toolkits provide excellent offline analysis, but assembling a real-time, quality-gated cognitive-load pipeline often requires manually bridging acquisition, custom QC, Alpha feature extraction, and a web API; this tutorial closes that offline-to-online gap. The tutorial uses a quality-gated workflow: downstream Alpha and workload metrics are computed only after preprocessing and QC gating rather than directly from raw EEG. In the included mini-dataset validation, the agent processed 18 recordings, generated 10 within-subject comparisons, observed task-related posterior Alpha suppression in 7 of 10 contrasts, estimated initial evidence of within-subject repeatability, and benchmarked local online API latency. The tutorial is intended for researchers, developers, and applied teams who want a transparent path from EEG files to real-time visual cognitive-load prototypes.
