Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a noninvasive system for measuring electric potentials of the brain and is used widely in the field of medical health and the brain-computer interface (BCI). EEG electrode caps are somewhat difficult to wear so they are limited to laboratory measurements. Wearable EEG devices are comfortable to wear and facilitate users to continue daily activities. The latest wearable technology takes brain measurements from a lab or clinic to outside world and has potential applications in BCI from rehabilitation to work performance and engagement. Placement of electrodes on the scalp to detect signals produced by synchronized neural activity of brain is a task of expertise and maintenance. There is a need of evolution from bulky ambulatory EEG devices to a wearable technology were wearing a small device without caring for electrode placement can record brain waves for days and weeks. Wearable sensing headsets and headbands are ideally suited for BCI and neurogaming applications.
