Abstract
An improved apparatus and method of using an EEG net to obtain electroencephalographic measurements from a patient in an emergent or urgent care setting. The net is comprised of a headpiece with a plurality of straps and recording ports formed therein. A recording head of an electrode is associated with each recording port and is pre-incorporated into the net. Transmitting wires are associated with each electrode head and have common terminated points. The terminus of each wire is hard wired into a connecting device that can be directly mated to a receiving console or remotely transmit wirelessly the electrode signals.
