Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This invention is a mobile wearable device for measuring electromagnetic brain activity. It can be embodied in a headband or eyewear with soft prongs and/or teeth which protrude into and/or under the person's hair. The prongs and/or teeth can be made from a silicone material (such as polydimethylsiloxane) which has been impregnated, doped, coated, or embedded with conductive material (such as a metal and/or carbon) in order to provide consistent but comfortable contact with the person's head.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1 . A wearable device for measuring electromagnetic brain activity comprising: a wearable ring and/or band which is configured to encircle a person's head at an anterior acute angle in the range of 0 to 45 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane when the person's head is upright, wherein the ring and/or band has prongs and/or teeth which protrude into and/or under the person's hair; and a plurality of electromagnetic energy sensors on the band; wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors are located at placement sites of Modified Combinatorial Nomenclature (MCN) electrode placement system selected from the group consisting of F3, F4, F7, F8, Fz, T3, T4, T5, T6, P3, P4, Pz, O1, O2, C3, C4, and Cz; and wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors are made from an elastic polymer. 2 . A wearable device for measuring electromagnetic brain activity comprising: a wearable ring and/or band which is configured to encircle a person's head at an anterior acute angle in the range of 0 to 45 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane when the person's head is upright; and a plurality of electromagnetic energy sensors on the band; wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors are located at placement sites of Modified Combinatorial Nomenclature (MCN) electrode placement system selected from the group consisting of F3, F4, F7, F8, Fz, T3, T4, T5, T6, P3, P4, Pz, O1, O2, C3, C4, and Cz; wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors are made from a polymer which has been impregnated, doped, coated, or embedded with conductive material; and wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors have prongs and/or teeth which protrude into and/or under the person's hair. 3 . A wearable device for measuring electromagnetic brain activity comprising: a wearable ring and/or band which is configured to encircle a person's head at an anterior acute angle in the range of 0 to 45 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane when the person's head is upright; and a plurality of electromagnetic energy sensors on the band; wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors are located at placement sites of Modified Combinatorial Nomenclature (MCN) electrode placement system selected from the group consisting of O1, Oz, FP1, FPz, PO7, AF7, P7, F7, TP7, FT7, and T7; wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors are made from a silicone material which has been impregnated, doped, coated, or embedded with silver or carbon; and wherein one or more of the electromagnetic energy sensors have prongs and/or teeth which protrude into and/or under the person's hair.
