Abstract
Brainwave is widely used as an indicator of brain activity and can be detected by electroencephalography (EEG). The development of EEG device has become more advanced along with the invention of low-cost tiny electronic modules and wireless technology. This research aimed to develop a low-cost wireless modular device for brainwave acquisition based on Arduino microcontroller. The system was designed into sensor block for brainwave receiver and conditioning, and mainboard block for data processing. Dry-active electrode was developed as the sensor, followed by preamplifier module which was also installed at the sensor block. Active filter and DRL circuits were developed on the mainboard part. Arduino UNO was used as the main processor of the device. The developed modules were then evaluated using signal generator to examine the module characteristics and consistency. As the result, the preamplifier module was detected to reach 40.34 dB on gain ability. The cutoff frequency on the active filter module was calculated on 31 Hz. Furthermore, Arduino UNO was identified to have a consistency on input and output voltage.
