Abstract
Supports for optical sensors are described. The supports may allow for placement of the optical sensors in close proximity or contact with a subject, such as supporting the optical sensors against a subject's head. The supports may include multiple pieces that can be connected or disconnected. Mechanisms for adjusting the pressure of the optical sensors against the subject may be included with the supports.
Claims20
A support, comprising:
- first and second segments, the first segment being configured to couple to a rear portion of a subject's head and the second segment being in the shape of an elongated strip and configured to wrap substantially about a front portion and side portions of the subject's head, wherein the first segment and second segment each include at least one coupler configured to detachably couple an optical sensor to an inner surface of the first and second segments, respectively;
- at least one fastener configured to detachably couple the first and second segments substantially in a loop such that the inner surface of the first segment and the inner surface of the second segment are directed inwardly toward a center of the loop;
- a first tensioner anchored on the second segment and configured to adjust a sizing of the loop and comprising at least one first strap;
- and
- a second tensioner anchored on the second segment and configured to adjust the sizing of the loop and comprising at least one second strap.
