Abstract
With a history that started with recordings from two electrodes, EEG technology has evolved to a full
coverage of the scalp with more than 300 electrodes, to only experience, in the last decades, a new trend
of low electrode density in emerging consumer grade EEG systems. These new emerging EEG devices
with low density electrodes are increasingly being used in research, opening new opportunities for
large-scale data collection. However, due to the fast pace of consumer grade EEG, combined with the lack
of a standardized framework to evaluate their performance, their accuracy and reliability in measuring
EEG remains largely unknown. In this talk, I will present a historical perspective on the evolution of EEG
technology and in that context, I will introduce a new methodology to assess the performance of EEG
with low density electrodes, when applied to brain imaging. The performance will be compared with
gold-standard high-density EEG (128, 231, 256 Ch). The methodology is conceived with the objective of
selecting optimal electrode locations for a given paradigm, to design light EEG systems with minimum
number of electrodes. The same methodology can be used for standardizing the performance testing of
consumer grade EEG, thus increasing the replicability of validation studies. The tools developed based
on this methodology can be easily adopted by researchers and commercial actors in the design process
of new EEG systems and to increase the efficiency, interpretation, and the quality of validation studies
of currently available devices. They can also serve as validation platform in the process of adoption of
consumer grade EEG devices in research and clinical settings.
