## Goals definition with AB
We had the second meeting of SC and AB December 3rd, 2024. TThe meeting used as an opporutniy to discuss the goals, and refine the scope of the project. Additionally members of SC and AB were invited to complete a sruvey on the project goals. A summary of the results can be found below, based on the raw data [here](https://github.com/JuliusWelzel/eegmanysteps/blob/main/files/EEGManySteps%20_%20AB%20meeting%20survey.tsv).
The meeting slides can be found [here](https://github.com/JuliusWelzel/eegmanysteps/blob/main/files/slides_ab_meeting_12_24.pdf).
**Summary survey**:
```{python}
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
# Load the data
url = "https://github.com/JuliusWelzel/eegmanysteps/blob/main/files/EEGManySteps%20_%20AB%20meeting%20survey.tsv?raw=true"
data = pd.read_csv(url, sep='\t')
# Select the first 4 patterns
patterns = data.columns[:5]
# Print a summary of the data
print("\n".join([
"This survey was conducted during the AB meeting.",
"The participants rated the following patterns:",
f"{'\n '.join(data.columns[1:5])}.",
"",
"The following statistics were calculated:",
f"Number of participants: {len(data)}",
f"Average rating for each pattern:",
f"{'\n '.join([f'{goal.split(':')[0]}: \n Average rating {data[goal].mean():.2f}' for goal in data.columns[1:5]])}",
"",
]))
# print the question title
print("\n",
"Please provide a rough estimate how many datasets with \n a new protocol your lab could provide (N=?)",
"\n"
)
# print estimate density distribution for potential pariticpants to be collected
sns.set(style="whitegrid")
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
# retrieve n
n_subj = data["Please provide a rough estimate how many datasets with a new protocol your lab could provide (N=?):"].fillna("")
# extract digits from pd series and sum if multiple digits are identified
def extract_digits(s):
digits = ''.join(filter(str.isdigit, str(s)))
if digits:
# Split the string by non-digit characters and take the last number
numbers = ''.join(c if c.isdigit() else ' ' for c in str(s)).split()
return int(numbers[-1]) if numbers else np.nan
return np.nan
n_subj.apply(extract_digits)
# plot the distribution
sns.histplot(n_subj.apply(extract_digits), bins=range(0, 100, 5), kde=True)
plt.xlabel("Estimated number of participants")
plt.xlim(0, 60)

## Kick-off Meeting in September
We had the first meeting of the **EEGManySteps** initiative on September 5th, 2024. The meeting was attended by 21 participants. The meeting was an opportunity to introduce the initiative, recap what happend since MoBI 2024, discuss the roles of the Steering Committee and Advisory Board, and plan the next steps. The meeting slides can be found [here](https://github.com/JuliusWelzel/eegmanysteps/blob/665fd64f92468f0cacaa504ed18159cd93f128b5/files/slides_kickoff.pdf) and the minutes [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JZ6axf8kW_PU4JE-0fuq0510ktJEFYTDPT0pab_cO0M/edit?usp=sharing).
**Next steps**:
- Ask for participation via mailing lists (EEGLab, fieldtrip, MNE)
- Open goal proposals
- Steering Committee and Advisory Board will shape goals
- Steering Committee defines WPs which can address the goals
- Identify potential funding opportunities
**Planned milestones**:
- Position paper (2024/2025)
- Apply for funding (early 2025)

## Start of the Initiative
We invite you to collaborate on the **EEGManySteps** initiative, aimed at understanding how different setups in mobile electroencephalography (EEG) experiments influence the results. EEGManySteps is an international, inter-institute effort focused on collecting and analyzing EEG data across multiple laboratories to investigate these influences, starting with a specific focus on gait-related features.
We are currently forming the decision-making structure of the initiative, which may change through further open discussions.
### How to Participate
Please let us know via email ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])) if you would like to assume one of the following roles:
1. **Steering Committee Member**
2. **Advisory Board Member**
3. **Data Set Contributor**
4. **Analyst**
Each role is described below. Please note that the roles of Steering Committee Member and Advisory Board Member cannot be chosen simultaneously. The final decision on your commitment can follow after some period when the responsibilities are better defined with mutual agreement.
### Tentative Role Definitions
**Steering Committee Members**
Expected to attend monthly meetings and take on specific tasks within the project.
*Minimal requirement: Authorship in one or more peer-reviewed MoBI paper or extensive experience in similar open science projects. Minimum active period at least 1 year.*
**Advisory Board Members:**
Provide background support and feedback during quarterly/biannual meetings to guide the project’s direction.
*Minimal requirement: First or last author in a peer-reviewed MoBI/Biomechanics paper or extensive experience in similar open science projects. Minimum active period at least 1 year.*
**Data Set Contributors**
Provide access to EEG datasets recorded in mobile settings. Detailed requirements are still to be determined.
*Minimal requirement: Responsible for the acquisition, curation, or formatting of mobile EEG data.*
**Analysts**
Participate in analyzing specific research questions related to mobile EEG data.
*Minimal requirement: Experience with the analysis of biomechanical or MoBI data.*
### Upcoming Event
We also invite you to join the virtual **Kick-off Meeting** in September, with the exact date and time to be determined through a poll. Please email us to access the poll and receive the meeting link.
