Reliability of an automated gaze-controlled paradigm for capturing neural responses during visual and face processing in toddlerhood.

ABSTRACT: Electroencephalography (EEG) has substantial potential value for examining individual differences during early development. Current challenges in developmental EEG research include high dropout rates and low trial numbers, which may in part be due to passive stimulus presentation. Comparability is challenged by idiosyncratic processing pipelines. We present a novel toolbox ("Braintools") that uses gaze-contingent stimulus presentation and an automated processing pipeline suitable for measuring visual processing through low-density EEG recordings in the field. We tested the feasibility of this toolbox in 61 2.5- to 4-year olds, and computed test-retest reliability (1- to 2-week interval) of event-related potentials (ERP) associated with visual (P1) and face processing (N290, P400).
