Repeated at-home EEG recordings with a four-channel consumer device captured stable auditory N1-like event responses, with split-half reliability rising from r = .22 (one session) to r = .76 (seven sessions per half).
- Why it matters: Reliable self-administered EEG is needed to study brain activity outside the lab, but session-to-session stability and measurement consistency are uncertain.
- What they did: Five participants completed repeated multi-day at-home recordings including resting-state and an auditory oddball task with and without concurrent cognitive load, assessing spectral features, event-related responses, and multivariate decoding across sessions.
- The result: The recordings showed established spectral signatures and clear event-related responses, and aggregating multiple sessions improved individual-level consistency, enabling longitudinal within-person measurement in everyday settings.
