A large-scale, international effort to replicate influential EEG experiments

About

#EEGManyLabs is a large-scale, international collaboration bringing together the global EEG community to strengthen the foundations of cognitive neuroscience. By pooling expertise and resources, our goal is to rigorously assess the replicability of landmark EEG findings. This collective effort is supporting the development of more transparent, reliable science, promoting shared tools, open data, and reproducible methods. Through our inclusive design, #EEGManyLabs is working to build a stronger, more connected research ecosystem committed to the future of EEG.

Replications

At the heart of #EEGManyLabs is the coordinated replication of 24 influential EEG studies selected for their impact on the field. Each experiment is conducted across multiple laboratories (minimum of 3 per replication) using a Registered Report protocol. This approach is delivering high statistical power, offering the field its most comprehensive test of replicability to date. The project is not only revisiting foundational findings but in doing so, is helping to establish best practices for future experimental and analytic standards in EEG research.

People

#EEGManyLabs is only possible thanks to the contributions of a global network of researchers committed to improving the field. Project coordinators oversee planning and communication; lead labs manage individual study logistics; an advisory board supports rigorous design and analysis; and replication teams collect data worldwide. From early career scientists to established investigators, contributors are shaping the project’s success through openness, collaboration, and mutual learning.
The list below includes a snapshot of the core team, advisory board and replication leads and is not (yet!) a complete reflection of the many scientists it takes to deliver a manylabs programme!

Related Projects

The initiative has inspired and contributed to a number of related projects that extend its goals. Some of these efforts have emerged organically from within the #EEGManyLabs community, while others are joint endeavours with external partners and organisations who share our commitment to open, rigorous, and impactful EEG science. These projects span documenting the centenary of EEG, generating large-scale resting-state datasets, advancing automated preprocessing pipelines, and the bringing together key stakeholders across EEG science. Together, they reflect how #EEGManyLabs serves not only as a platform for replication, but also as a launchpad for broader discovery, infrastructure development, and dialogue across the global neuroscience community.

Publications

Here you will find all publications arising from the direct replication studies, including both Stage 1 (Registered Reports outlining protocols and planned analyses) and Stage 2 (final results) as they become available. Each study is linked with its associated data, code, and materials where available.
