Reproduce a classic EEG paradigm
Replicate a well-known effect (alpha blocking, P300, SSVEP) with low-cost open hardware and publish data and code. Recording other people requires your own institution's ethics approval.
Possible Outcome
An open dataset + analysis on OSF or Zenodo.
You own what you build. Publish it under your own GitHub account with your name and chosen open-source licence.
Why It Matters for Open Neurotech
Replicating foundational neurophysiology paradigms (Berger effect alpha blocking, auditory/visual oddball P300, or steady-state visual evoked potentials) with BIDS-formatted open data strengthens open science.
Starting Points & Technical Notes
These are open-ended suggestions, not specifications or assigned tasks. Change the scope, combine ideas, or take a completely different approach:
- Ensure any human-subject recording follows your institution's IRB / ethics committee approval and informed consent rules.
- Format recordings in EEG-BIDS with clear event markers and electrode coordinates.
- Deposit raw data and analysis scripts on Zenodo, OSF, or OpenNeuro with a DOI.
Independent Open-Source Work
PiEEG Ltd does not take on volunteers, interns or unpaid workers. Any project you start is your own independent activity under your own repository and responsibility. Read the full ground rules →
Safety First
PiEEG devices are not medical devices. Use battery power only when electrodes are on a person, and never connect to mains power during recording. Liability & safety →
