2022-05-20: EEG Data Standardization

Image Source Introduction Clinicians and researchers continue to look at more and more at ways to utilize Electroencephalography (EEG) data to support the diagnosis and treatment of various physical and mental health conditions. However, not long after being involved in EEG related research , you will soon realize that there are numerous formats available for EEG data recordings. The lack of EEG data format consistency continues to present challenges in the transmission, exchange, and analysis of such data amongst researchers and impedes advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) and biomedical research . At a minimum, EEG data consistency would reduce confusion amongst researchers and clinicians who rely on data sharing. However, the benefits of EEG data standardization also include the reduction or elimination of expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive data conversions to other formats. This is very significant as it supports interdisciplinary, multidisciplin
