  • Publication number: 20210085207
    Abstract: A headpiece, acquisition device, system and method for making electroencephalography (EEG) measurements. The EEG headpiece fits, or adjusts to fit, on a person's scalp, each of a plurality of electrodes is located in the headpiece corresponding to selected respective positions on the scalp, the electrodes are electrically connected to at least one electrical transmitter, and the headpiece is attached to the scalp after the electrodes have been located in the headpiece.

  • Patent number: 10881318
    Abstract: An improved apparatus and method of using an EEG net to obtain electroencephalographic measurements from a patient in an emergent or urgent care setting. The net is comprised of a headpiece with a plurality of straps and recording ports formed therein. A recording head of an electrode is associated with each recording port and is pre-incorporated into the net. Transmitting wires are associated with each electrode head and have common terminated points. The terminus of each wire is hard wired into a connecting device that can be directly mated to a receiving console or remotely transmit wirelessly the electrode signals.

  • Patent number: 9345418
    Abstract: An electroencephalography system is provided. The electroencephalography system includes a support structure that covers at least predetermined areas on a patient's head, a plurality of electrodes mounted on the support structure so that, the electrodes are distributed around the patient's head and measure usable electrical signals that are representative of electrical activity or activity in a patient's head, a plurality of transmitting wires incorporated into the support structure, a multi-pin connector having an output and an input, each of the plurality of transmitting wires directly connected between a respective one of each of the plurality of electrodes and a corresponding pin of the multi-pin connector so that, electrical signals are sent to the output of the connector and a first transmitter that is capable of being operatively coupled to the output of the connector.
