Transparent in the sense that both the person wearing the EEG system as well as the people interacting with that person are not disturbed by it. We argue for “transparent”, ear-centered EEG systems instead. For long term EEG recordings, to study natural behaviour in public, these systems are not optimal, as they are rather bulky and unpleasant to wear for longer periods. Most EEG systems record from electrodes that are distributed over the head, kept in place with an elastic cap or net.
The development of mobile EEG hardware in the last years allows moving beyond the lab and studying brain activity in everyday life. Consequently, our knowledge regarding the brain-behaviour relationship was limited to human behaviour under constrained conditions.
For scientific purposes, EEG is traditionally used to study the brain-behaviour relationship under well controlled laboratory conditions while the participant sits quietly in a room.
