Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have created a stick-on, thin, flexible, stretchy electrode array that can pick up EEG signals from the brain, which are around 10-times smaller than ECG signals from the heart. On to this is mounted an electronics package that extracts and wirelessly transmits the acquired signals. “Unlike EEG caps that are bulky with ...

Measuring EEG and biosignals with Arduino ardEEG shield
Eh, what? Blimey... This project, dubbed the ardEEG shield, aims to use an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi as a brain-computer interface!
Electronica: Wrist-wearable ref design measures blood oxygen, ECG, heart rate, temperature and activity
Maxim is measuring blood oxygen, ECG, heart rate, body temperature and activity data in its third generation of wearable health monitor reference design, this time entirely wrist-worn. Called Health Sensor Platform 3.0 (aka MAXREFDES104#), it comes in a ready-to-wear wrist form with algorithms to provide heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV), respiration rate (RR), SpO2 , body temperature, sleep quality and ...
European labs demo wireless brain monitor
Belgian Lab IMEC and its Dutch partner Holst Centre revealed a wireless EEG (electroencephalogram) systems for continuous ambulatory monitoring at this week's Medical Device & Manufacturing conference and exhibition in...
IMEC puts heart beat on Android phones
Healthcare costs could be cut by an app for android phones that stores and displays electrocardiograms sensed over a wireless body area network (BAN). Hardware and software have come from consortium of: Belgian Lab IMEC, its Dutch subsidiary Holst Centre, and embedded software firm TASS. “The innovation is a low-power interface that transmits signals from a wireless ECG sensor system ...
Brain processor drives word processor
European engineers have developed a brain wave sensor that allows paralysed people to write. The Mind Speller is a EEG-based (electroencephalogram-based) device that detects and interprets ‘P300’ event-related potentials in the brain signals of a person that is looking at a display presenting alternate rows and columns of characters (video). “P300 potentials are often used as metrics of cognitive function ...
IMEC, Holst Centre build 8-channel wireless EEG for monitoring
IMEC and its Dutch subsidiary Holst Centre have constructed an 8-channel wireless electroencephalograph (EEG) for monitoring patients in their daily environment.
