Title: Early detection of neuro-degenerative disease

Area: Wearable Health Devices and Remote Monitoring

 

Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) allows the study of the brain in humans with applications in areas of Psychology, Brain-Computer Interfaces, and Neuromarketing. The conventional systems limit the applications of EEG to lab environments, but recent developments towards portable EEG have allowed brain studies outside the laboratory in more realistic situations. One such direction is the Ear EEG, a wearable concept for recording the EEG using an ear worn device. Specifically, the our effort in the use of EarEEG and medical imaging in early detection of neurodegenerative disease will be discussed.
