Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Computer Science

Background:

Electroencephalography (EEG) experiments traditionally require controlled laboratory settings, limiting their real-world applicability.
Controlled environments, while ensuring data reliability, restrict the ecological validity of EEG findings.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the Raspberry Pi 2 as a low-cost, portable alternative for administering EEG experiments.
To assess the feasibility of using the Raspberry Pi 2 for stimulus presentation in auditory oddball paradigms.

Main Methods:

Stimulus presentation for an auditory oddball task was administered using a Raspberry Pi 2 computer.
Event-related potentials (ERPs), specifically MMN and P3 activity, were measured and compared to those obtained using a traditional desktop PC.

Main Results:

Significant and reliable MMN and P3 activity were observed when using the Raspberry Pi 2.
ERP triggering latency differences were noted but only marginally reduced statistical power.
The Raspberry Pi 2 produced comparable ERPs to a desktop PC, despite minor temporal differences.

Conclusions:

The Raspberry Pi 2 is a viable, cost-effective alternative to desktop PCs for EEG experiments.
Its portability and low power consumption facilitate mobile EEG studies outside laboratory settings.
This advancement enhances the accessibility and real-world relevance of EEG research.
