CoME Framework Scores How Mobile an EEG Study Really Is
A participant walking on a treadmill and one walking freely outdoors with a recorder on their back can both be described as doing mobile EEG, yet their freedom of movement differs enormously. The CoME framework, proposed in 2017, scores a study on four dimensions (device mobility, participant mobility, system specification and channel count) in a format such as (2D, 4P, 17S, 32C). Device and participant mobility have to be scored separately: a head-mounted system used for resting-state recording earns a high device score but still rates 0P for participant mobility. The framework is not a product ranking, and a higher score does not mean a better system.
