From: Remote collection of electrophysiological data with brain wearables: opportunities and challenges
Methodology for remote data collection with consumer EEG wearables. A potential workflow for a remote data collection protocol. First, a laptop or other smart device with software (Ai) that can connect to and receive data from an EEG wearable (Aii) is required. A participant would then attend an initial in-lab demonstration on how to navigate the software to simultaneously perform EEG recordings with cognitive tests (B) of interest. The devices are then taken home for remote longitudinal data collection (C) with sessions as frequent as for example, weekly, bidaily, or even daily. Once collection is completed, devices are returned to the lab for analyses of EEG features, such as event-related potentials or changes in power bands and spectrographic data (D). Remote transfer of data is also a potential additional feature with increased data encryption and security measures
