Background:

High-density electroencephalography (EEG) offers enhanced spatial resolution for neural signal decoding.
The precise impact of electrode density on decoding performance requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically evaluate the relationship between EEG electrode density and neural decoding accuracy.
To assess decoding performance across various electrode configurations (16 to 128 electrodes).
To determine the robustness of neural decoding for both simple visual stimuli and complex natural images.

Main Methods:

Decoding accuracy was analyzed using varying electrode densities (16, 32, 64, 96, 128).
Visual grating stimuli with controlled orientation, contrast, spatial frequency, and color were used.
Naturalistic images (living/non-living, moving/non-moving) were employed to test generalization.

Main Results:

Decoding accuracy generally increased with higher electrode density.
Reliable above-chance decoding was achieved even with as few as 16 electrodes.
Effective decoding persisted for complex naturalistic images with a 16-electrode configuration.

Conclusions:

Higher EEG electrode density benefits neural decoding, but robust decoding is possible with sparse sampling.
Neural signals remain broadly decodable even with limited spatial resolution.
Findings provide insights into efficient neural signal decoding strategies.
