From the lab to the field: acceptability of using electroencephalography with Indian preschool children.

ABSTRACT: Background: Measurement of social and cognitive brain development using electroencephalography (EEG) offers the potential for early identification of children with elevated risk of developmental delay. However, there have been no published reports of how acceptable EEG technology is to parents and children within communities, especially in low-resource contexts such as in low and middle income countries (LMICs), which is an important question for the potential scalability of these assessments.

Methods: We assessed the acceptability of neurophysiology research and Braintools (a novel neurodevelopmental assessmen
