Hi Kevin, I don’t know too much about at-home EEG systems so I’m hesitant to comment on them in detail. But 16 channels certainly does sound impressive if the device works. One of the major challenges for at-home systems, particularly with neurofeedback, is dealing with the noise in EEG recordings. I’m sure the technology is moving in the right direction, but like you, I suspect it’s not quite there yet (especially given my own painful experiences with using EEG for research).

I leave links to the referenced studies in the appropriate places within the text. Whenever you see underlined words, you can click on them to take you to the original study or to other articles I’ve written that include the original study. For example, if you click “study published in 2019” in this article, it will take you to the research paper.
