This study presents a compact, wireless electroencephalogram (EEG) system using novel noninvasive sensors that record brain activity through hair. The system enables real-time workload classification during ambulation without skin preparation.

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Neuroscience
Wearable Technology

Background:

Traditional electroencephalogram (EEG) systems often require skin preparation and conductive gels, limiting their use in ambulatory settings.
Existing ambulatory EEG systems can be bulky, power-hungry, and susceptible to motion artifacts.
Noninvasive sensing technologies are needed to overcome the limitations of conventional EEG for real-world applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a compact, lightweight, and ultra-low power ambulatory wireless EEG system.
To evaluate the performance of innovative noninvasive bioelectric sensors for EEG acquisition during ambulation.
To demonstrate real-time workload classification using EEG data recorded during subject motion.

Main Methods:

Development of a compact, wireless EEG system incorporating QUASAR's noninvasive bioelectric sensors.
