Portable electroencephalography devices

Abstract

According to one aspect, the present description relates to a portable device (10) for acquiring electroencephalographic (EEG) signals emitted by a user. The portable device comprises a flexible support (11) intended to fit a localized region of the skull of the user and a set of sensors (13) of electrical signals generated by the neuronal activity of the user, arranged on said support (11) so as to form contacts with the scalp when the device is worn by the user. For each sensor, an electronic circuit for filtering and amplifying electrical signals detected by said sensor is incorporated in the flexible support (11) and forms, with said sensor, an active electrode. The portable device also comprises a housing (12) comprising an electronic system for processing signals from said electronic filtering and amplification circuits, said housing being linked mechanically to the flexible support to form, with said support, a means of attachment to a garment or accessory intended to be worn by the user.
