  • Publication number: 20150265215
    Abstract: Preferably, an embodiment of a tactile enabled sensor includes at least a sensor assembly providing at least a sensor probe. The sensor probe including a main body portion having a plurality of conductive spires extending from a first side of the main body, and a compressible electrically conductive member confinement feature extending from an opposite side of the main body. Each of the plurality of conductive spires passes through spire apertures provided by a sensor probe support member. The plurality of conductive spires conduct brainwave signals of a subject. An oscillation device communicates with the sensor assembly, wherein said sensor assembly is in communication with a signal processing circuit in electrical communication with the oscillation device and the brainwave signals of the subject. The oscillation device selectively agitates the plurality of conductive spires in response to an electrical state of the brainwave signal of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20150265176
    Abstract: Preferably, an embodiment of a sensor assembly includes at least a sensor probe providing a plurality of conductive spires, a compressible electrically conductive member in electrical communication with the sensor probe, a signal processing circuit in electrical communication with the compressible electrically conductive member, a housing confining the compressible electrically conductive member and sensor probe, a sensor probe support member supporting the sensor probe and cooperating with the housing to confine the compressible electrically conductive member, and a film of neurodiagnostic electrode paste applied to said spires, the film to the spires promotes improved conductivity of the subjects brain wave signals to a brainwave processing system. Continued use by the subject of the sensor assembly improves the conductivity of the subjects brain wave signals as the film coated spires adjust to the chemistry present on the subjects cranium.

  • Publication number: 20150182165
    Abstract: Preferably, an embodiment of a neurophysiological training headset includes at least a plurality of sensor assemblies each sensor assembly secured by a retention web. Each of the plurality of sensor assemblies are positioned in contact adjacent at a predetermined location about a cranium of a subject. The preferred neurophysiological training headset further includes a headphone secured to the retention web by an attachment member, in which the attachment member provides a continuously active tensioning mechanism. The continuously active tensioning mechanism promotes continuous force induced contact adjacency of each of the sensor assemblies with the cranium of the subject.
