“…ABS was the plastic material of choice due to its high strength to weight ratio. Additionally, there was an 'unrestricted manufacture' design option 4 also made from ABS, however this wasn't chosen as rapid prototyping was the manufacturing method of choice based on ease and cost of manufacture [6].…”
This project aims to design a new portable Brain Computer Interface (BCI) headset that can be used by nonprofessionals (patients, caregivers) as part of BCI therapeutic applications in the home environment. The suitability of the design of the new headset under its operating conditions was evaluated through use of mechanical testing in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and physical prototypes. Extensive use of CAD based design was used to create a novel testbed for future prototypes of BCI headsets. We present a solution for optimised hardware design of the BCI headset which incorporates existing electronic components (dry electrodes, portable amplifier, battery etc.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
