Project Overview
Currently the US has a large population of individuals with neurological disorders. It is very important to monitor these cases for the early detection of emergencies and worsening conditions. Given the medical industry's rising costs; inexpensive, mobile and automated systems of patient monitoring are becoming an industry imperative. Electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive measurement of the brain's electrical activity, is a well-established method for the detection and classification of brain function. Despite a long history of clinical use, these devices have not gained widespread use as disease prevention and monitoring tools. It is possible that a versatile and low-cost EEG monitoring system would change this trend.
A Remote EEG Sensor System will be designed to collect EEG data and provide visual feedback to a remote computer. The system consists of one or more low-power, portable EEG devices which are interfaced directly with a wireless mesh network. Data from multiple persons wearing the portable EEG device can be simultaneously collected, stored, aggregated and analyzed in real time.
A standard personal computer is used as an observer's interface to the wireless network, and a software package will allow the observer to establish wireless connections to the EEG devices, configure the devices for the subjects and update protocols for handling, storing and analyzing collected data.
