With the emergence of electroencephalography (EEG) as a tool in the cognitive domain, new demands are being placed on the technology to keep up with functional applications, especially in the context of at-home neural monitoring. New use cases have fostered development of wearable EEG (wEEG) devices: portable, low-cost headsets used for EEG monitoring. This evolution of technology and application has not been accompanied by development in technology evaluation, often relying on function-agnostic markers to assess devices for efficacy in this new space. With current methods limited in scope, this study designed, tested and evaluated a novel functionally-focused comparative protocol for wEEG devices. Eight participants undertook a protocol for the evaluation of four established wEEG devices, assessing cognitive resolution and general usability. Compared to a well-established traditional analysis method (eyes open/eyes closed protocol), the novel design proposed here enabled the same analysis of headset resolution, while also providing additional context into user preferences and opening downstream possibilities for specific cognitive insights. Future research could enable the development of this protocol into a standardised method to ensure the performance of wEEG technology can satisfy emerging clinical needs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
