Number and space are inherently related. Previous research has provided evidence that numbers are aligned to a so-called "mental number line", which is malleable and affected by cultural factors mostly linked to literacy-related habits. However, preverbal humans and non-human animals also map numerosities into space, in a consistent left-to-right direction.

Recent studies show that the integrity of core perceptual and cognitive functions may be tested in a short time with Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) with low stimulation frequencies, between 1 and 10 Hz. Wearable EEG systems provide unique opportunities to test these brain functions on diverse populations in out-of-the-lab conditions. However, they also pose significant challenges as the number of EEG channels is typically limited, and the recording conditions might induce high noise levels, particularly for low frequencies.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) data are typically affected by artifacts. The detection and removal of bad channels (i.e.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is arising as a valuable method to investigate neurocognitive functions shortly after birth. However, obtaining high-quality EEG data from human newborn recordings is challenging. Compared to adults and older infants, datasets are typically much shorter due to newborns' limited attentional span and much noisier due to non-stereotyped artifacts mainly caused by uncontrollable movements.

Article Synopsis
  • Light-weight mobile EEG systems are convenient for monitoring brain activity outside of lab settings but are more prone to signal contamination.
  • Artifacts Subspace Reconstruction (ASR) can automatically remove transient-like artifacts, but its effectiveness on low-density EEG has been unclear until now.
  • This study demonstrates that ASR significantly improves SSVEP responses in low-density systems, achieving enhancements of up to 45% with optimal parameters, indicating its robustness for real-world applications.
