Researchers are increasingly attempting to undertake electroencephalography (EEG) recordings in novel environments and contexts outside of the traditional static laboratory setting. The term "mobile EEG," although commonly used to describe many of these undertakings, is ambiguous, since it attempts to encompass a wide range of EEG device mobility, participant mobility, and system specifications used across investigations. To provide quantitative parameters for "mobile EEG," we developed a Categorisation of Mobile EEG (CoME) scheme based upon scoring of device mobility (, from 0, off-body, to 5, head-mounted with no additional equipment), participant mobility (, from 0, static, to 5, unconstrained running), system specification (, from 4, lowest, to 20, highest), and number of channels () used. The CoME scheme was applied to twenty-nine published mobile EEG studies. Device mobility scores ranged from 0 to 4, participant mobility scores from 0 to 4, and system specification scores from 6 to 17. The format of the scores for the four parameters is given, for example, as (2, 4, 17, 32) and readily enables comparisons across studies. Our CoME scheme enables researchers to quantify the degree of device mobility, participant mobility, and system specification used in their "mobile EEG" investigations in a standardised way.
研究人员越来越试图在传统的静态实验室环境之外的新环境和背景中进行脑电图 (EEG) 记录。“移动 EEG”一词虽然常用于描述许多此类尝试，但不够明确，因为它试图包含广泛的 EEG 设备移动性、参与者移动性和研究中使用的系统规格。为了为“移动 EEG”提供定量参数，我们开发了一种基于设备移动性（从 0，离身，到 5，头戴式且无其他设备）、参与者移动性（从 0，静态，到 5，不受限制的跑步）、系统规格（从 4，最低，到 20，最高）和使用的通道数（）的评分的移动 EEG 分类（CoME）方案。该 CoME 方案应用于 29 项已发表的移动 EEG 研究。设备移动性评分范围从 0 到 4，参与者移动性评分从 0 到 4，系统规格评分从 6 到 17。四个参数的分数格式为，例如，(2, 4, 17, 32)，便于跨研究进行比较。我们的 CoME 方案使研究人员能够以标准化的方式量化他们的“移动 EEG”研究中使用的设备移动性、参与者移动性和系统规格的程度。
