Hello Malcolm,One idea could be to perform an ABR amplitude growth function as commonly used in ENT clinics, see for example [1]. That would not involve a test of the behavioural feedback part of your setup, but verify the EEG recording signal chain. And it has the advantage that you also gather a good characterization of the auditory system of the participants which might prove useful in the analysis (individual threshold, slope, latencies).

What is a good test we can do to verify that we have a working ear-EEG setup with new EEG equipment? Is there a standard test we can run before each subject to insure we are getting good data?An ASSR test, a MMN test? Something short, reliable, and easy to quantify that we have good data. We are going to be playing with several different kinds of EEG equipment at the Telluride Neuromorphic Workshop this week, and I’d love to have a go-no-go test before we collect more complicated experiments (like attention decoding).Is there a standard? What do people recommend? Thanks. — Malcolm
