Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Since this is an observational study about Sevo electrodes, all methods are post-intervention. Our outcome measure is digital data after 1 hour of EEG once the electrodes are placed on the scalp. We will use this data to determine EEG quality compared between Sevo electrodes and traditional electrodes, using statistical methods such as t-test and ANOVA on Fourier-transformed channel data. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Since this is an observational study about Sevo electrodes performance, all methods are post-intervention. Our outcome measure is digital data from 1 hour of EEG after the electrodes are placed on the scalp. We will use this data to determine EEG quality compared between Sevo electrodes and traditional electrodes, using statistical methods such as t-test and ANOVA on Fourier-transformed channel data. | — |
