We are building a web app to use the Muse headset for large N crowd-sourced research into meditation training. The most important ROIs for meditation all lie along the medial plane. We are looking for someone to conduct experiments to find the best source localization algorithms to get to the PCC, ACC, Insulae, or just the DMN with the Muse headset.

The Muse can pick-up up signals at Fp1, Fp2, TP9, TP12, and PZ. The proposed experiment is to take a 19+ channel recording, delete all but these five sites, and see how much detail is left with only five recording sites. Clearly, this is going in the opposite direction of source space research which has been all about getting more precision. But if it is possible to get workable localization through LORETA, Beamformer, or whatever, it opens doors for some very large N crowdsourced science.
