| Name, year | Balance challenge | TM or OG | Modality | Mobile | Spatial information | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gramann et al., 2010 | Visual oddball response task while standing/walking | TM Fixed | EEG | No (tether) | Fz, Cz, Pz | Identification of P300 and N100 amplitudes due to visual oddball stimulus |
| Gwin et al., 2010 | Visual oddball task while walking or running | TM Fixed | EEG | No | Mediofrontal clusters | Identification of gait-related artifact in ERP during running |
| Oliveira et al., 2016 | Auditory oddball task seated and walking | TM Fixed | EEG | Yes | Fpz, F3, Fz, F4, C3, Cz, C4, P3, Pz, P4, O1, O2 | Epoch rejection rate, pre-stimulus noise, signal-to-noise ratio, P300 amplitude |
| Lau et al., 2012 | Response to target stimulus while walking | TM Fixed | EEG | No | Global | Identification of P300 response in walking condition |
| Castermans et al., 2014 | Barefoot walking | TM Fixed | EEG | No | Cz, Oz, T8 | Harmonics in accelerometer and EEG signals (delta, theta, alpha bands) |
| Snyder et al., 2015 | Walking at set speeds with silicone cap | TM Fixed | EEG | No | Global | Movement artifact remains in EEG signal following ICA and dipole fitting |
| Kline et al., 2015 | Walking at set speeds with silicone cap | TM Fixed | EEG | Yes | E12, A19, G11, C19, A1 | Movement artifact varies with speed, subject and electrode location |
