Abstract
Various designs of dry EEG sensor are described to permit movement of the sensor contacts with respect to the device in which the sensor is mounted.
Claims20
A dry EEG sensor, comprising
- at least one electrical contact for contacting the skin of a user, each electrical contact being connected to electrical circuitry to process any detected signals;
- wherein the at least one electrical contact is mounted in a flexible layer mounted on a part of a device in which the EEG sensor is mounted, wherein the flexible layer permits movement in all directions with the user's skin when the user's skin moves relative to the device,
- wherein the flexible layer supports the electrical contact to press the electrical contacts against the skin of the user,
- wherein the electrical contacts pass through the flexible layer and a void exists between the electrical contacts and the device.
1 more element
A electroencephalography EEG sensor mounted in a set of headphones, comprising:
- a flexible layer which permits movement in all directions;
- and
- at least one elongate electrical contact for contacting the skin of a user,
- wherein the at least one electrical contacts are mounted in the flexible layer and the flexible layer provides support for the at least one electrical contacts,
- wherein in use the EEG sensor contacts a region of an ear of the user.
2 more elements
An EEG sensor mounted in a set of headphones, comprising
- at least one electrical contact for contacting the skin of an ear of a user;
- a resilient material positioned between the at least one electrical contact and part of a set of headphones in which the EEG sensor is mounted;
- and
- a low-friction material positioned between the at least one electrical contact and the resilient material.
