Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In the past few years it has been demonstrated that electroencephalography (EEG) can be recorded from inside the ear (in-ear EEG). To open the door to low-profile earpieces as wearable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), this work presents a practical in-ear EEG device based on multiple dry electrodes, a user-generic design, and a lightweight wireless interface for streaming data and device programming. The earpiece is designed for improved ear canal contact across a wide population of users and is fabricated in a low-cost and scalable manufacturing process based on standard techniques such as vacuum forming, plasma-treatment, and spray coating. A 2.5 x 2.5 cm(2) wireless recording module is designed to record and stream data wirelessly to a host computer. Performance was evaluated on three human subjects over three months and compared with clinical-grade wet scalp EEG recordings. Recordings of spontaneous and evoked physiological signals, eye-blinks, alpha rhythm, and the auditory steady-state response (ASSR), are presented. This is the first wireless in-ear EEG to our knowledge to incorporate a dry multielectrode, user-generic design. The user-generic ear EEG recorded a mean alpha modulation of 2.17, outperforming the state-of-the-art in dry electrode in-ear EEG systems.
