Claims42
A handheld device for receiving electric signals from a surface to detect electrical activity comprising:
- a housing including a distal end and a proximal end;
- a battery;
- at least a plurality of legs extending from the proximal end of the housing, each leg of the plurality of legs includes a foot provided at a distal end of the leg;
- and
- one or more electrodes provided on each foot associated with a leg of the plurality of legs, wherein each of the one or more electrodes is configured to detect electroencephalogram electrical signals when the one or more electrodes is placed on the head of the patient,
- wherein the handheld device is constructed to allow, during operation, movement of the handheld device to different locations on the head to detect the electroencephalogram electrical signals representative of brain activity of the patient.
A method for detecting electric signals with a handheld device operating as at least an electroencephalogram device that comprises a housing, one or more legs extending from the housing, and one or more electrodes provided on a distal end of each of the one or more legs, the method comprising:
- a. placing, with user applied force, the one or more electrodes on a head surface of a subject to detect one or more electroencephalogram electric signals from a first region of the head surface of the subject;
- b. after detecting the one or more electroencephalogram electric signals at the first region of the head surface of the subject, moving the one or more electrodes to one or more subsequent regions of the head surface of the subject;
- and
- c. detecting one or more electroencephalogram electric signals from the one or more subsequent regions of the head surface of the subject until electroencephalogram electrical signals inclusive of the one or more electroencephalogram electric signals have been obtained from all desired regions of the head surface of the subject including at least the first region and the one or more subsequent regions.
A method for detecting electric signals with a handheld device operating as at least an electroencephalogram device that comprises a housing, one or more legs extending from the housing, and one or more electrodes provided on a distal end of each of the one or more legs, the method comprising:
- placing the one or more electrodes on a surface of a subject to detect one or more electroencephalogram electric signals from a first region of the surf ace of the subject;
- moving the one or more electrodes to one or more subsequent regions of the surface of the subject upon detecting the one or more electroencephalogram electric signals from the first region;
- detecting one or more electroencephalogram electric signals from the one or more subsequent regions of the surface of the subject;
- and
- repeating the moving and detecting operations until electroencephalogram electric signals have been obtained from all desired regions of the surface of the subject including at least the first region and the one or more subsequent regions,
- wherein the handheld device further comprises one or more sensors configured to determine a position of the one or more electrodes;
- and a computing device provided within the housing, the computing device comprises a processor operatively coupled to the image sensor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium with a computer program including instructions executable by the processor causing the processor to:
- i) calibrate a position of the one or more electrodes and set an origin, ii) receive data from the one or more sensors to track the position of the one or more electrodes, and iii) record electric signals obtained from the one or more electrodes.
