contents Objective: To establish sub-scalp electroencephalography (EEG) as a viable option for brain-computer interface (BCI) applications, particularly for chronic use, by demonstrating its effectiveness in recording and classifying sensorimotor neural activity. Approach: Two experiments were conducted in this study. The first aim was to demonstrate the high spatial resolution of sub-scalp EEG through analysis of somatosensory evoked potentials in sheep models. The second focused on the practical application of sub-scalp EEG, classifying motor execution using data collected during a sheep behavioural experiment. Main Results: We successfully demonstrated the recording of sensorimotor rhythms using sub-scalp EEG in sheep models. Important spatial, temporal, and spectral features of these signals were identified, and we were able to classify motor execution with above-chance performance. These results are comparable to previous work that investigated signal quality and motor execution classification using ECoG and endovascular arrays in sheep models. Significance: These results suggest that sub-scalp EEG may provide signal quality that approaches that of more invasive neural recording methods such as ECoG and endovascular arrays, and support the use of sub-scalp EEG for chronic BCI applications.
