[FieldTrip] PSI wearable EEG research: interest in a WhatsApp discussion group

[נתי שטרן]

Following my earlier invitation, here are the collaboration details and my
direct WhatsApp contact for follow-up.

Dear colleagues,

My name is Netanel Stern, an independent researcher and software developer
based in Israel. I am seeking international collaborators to help design an
exploratory study of non-invasive wearable EEG and its relationship to
behavioural and clinical changes.

The proposed study would consider autistic participants, people
experiencing psychotic episodes, and healthy comparison participants.
Clinical assessment would provide the reference standard, with EEG
evaluated as a potential complementary measure.

I welcome input from clinicians, EEG researchers, biomedical engineers,
statisticians, and interested students and trainees on:

   - Existing wearable or wireless EEG systems and the feasibility of dry
   electrodes.
   - Muscle and movement artifacts, synchronised behavioural observations,
   and clearly defined clinical outcomes.
   - Within-person analysis, machine learning, and validation on
   independent participants.

The background document is a research discussion draft that has not
undergone peer review. Existing software demonstrations use synthetic data;
diagnostic capability and prospective prediction of behavioural events have
not been established. Any human-participant study would require clinical
review and appropriate ethics approval before recruitment.

Clinical Assessment and Measurement Validation

Dear colleagues, I am organizing a voluntary WhatsApp research discussion
group for the Psychiatric State Index (PSI) project. The discussion would
focus on wearable EEG and its association with independently observed
behavioral changes in ASD, psychotic episodes, and healthy controls. I
would welcome researchers, clinicians, engineers, and people with lived
experience interested in discussing signal quality and muscle/movement
artifacts, behavioral and clinical annotation, within-person analysis, and
careful evaluation of machine-learning models. If you would like to take
part, please reply privately to nsh531 at gmail.com to express interest,
rather than replying to the whole mailing list. No WhatsApp joining link is
available yet, and there is no need to send your phone number at this
stage. This is an invitation to methodological discussion, not recruitment
for a clinical study or a clinical service. The proposed study requires
clinical review and ethics approval before recruitment. Existing simulation
results are synthetic and do not establish diagnostic or predictive
validity. Background discussion draft (not peer reviewed):

Best regards, Netanel Stern Independent researcher
