“…Thus, the analysis of seizure-related motor activity may be useful for understanding brain-action relationships [16]. Moreover, wireless and embedded systems have been widely applied in several aspects of physiological or EEG signal monitoring [12], [17]- [19]. In this paper, a wireless monitoring system that is useful for understanding brain-action relationships is proposed.…”

It is critical to set up a precise and feasible monitoring system for a variety of animal and human studies. A multichannel wireless system for monitoring physiological signals of freely moving rats is presented. This system combines electroencephalogram (EEG) and acceleration signals, enabling the study of association between brain and behavior. A combination of EEG and accelerometers eliminates the necessity for complicated video installation as well as time-consuming and tedious analysis of recorded videos. The IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless communication frees the experimental subject from the hassle of wires and reduces wire artifacts during recording. Long-period continuous recording was possible because of the low power feature of the system. Methods for automatic wake-sleep state discrimination and temporal lobe epileptic seizure detection are also proposed to demonstrate the advantages of the system. An accuracy of up to 96.22% for the automatic discrimination of wake-sleep states is an advantage of our system. In addition, the detection of amygdala-kindling temporal lobe seizures reaches 100% with zero false alarms, greatly saving manpower in the identification of temporal lobe epilepsy.

“…Due to the subtle nature of its symptoms, episodes of absence epilepsy may often go unrecognized or misdiagnosed [1] . Since EEG is an effective means of detecting subtle abnormalities, it is desirable to continuously monitor the EEG of epileptic patients.…”

“…Since EEG is an effective means of detecting subtle abnormalities, it is desirable to continuously monitor the EEG of epileptic patients. Whitchurch et al [1] recently developed and reported an EEG monitoring system for patients with absence epilepsy. The system utilized a Bluetooth personal area network that linked the front-end (an EEG acquisition system) and a data analysis system.…”

“…Their study showed that users felt, after some training, more natural to interact with the BCI. Table 2 summarizes the BCI systems mentioned above [1,2,8,25,26,31,32] . Except for the BCI system developed by Cincotti et al [26] , whose wireless transmission lies between the host PC (intermediate stage) and the vibrotactile feedback device (back end), other BCI systems employed a wireless transmission module between the signal acquisition (front end) and signal analysis units (intermediate stage).…”

Notably, all 5 wearable and wireless BCI systems mentioned above [1,2,8,25,26] focused on custom hardware and software for EEG/ECoG monitoring rather than on hardware for performing online signal processing. The acquired data were either recorded on a portable device or transmitted wirelessly to a host PC located within a confined space or on a WLAN.…”

Review of Wireless and Wearable Electroencephalogram Systems and Brain-Computer Interfaces – A Mini-Review

Biomedical signal monitoring systems have rapidly advanced in recent years, propelled by significant advances in electronic and information technologies. Brain-computer interface (BCI) is one of the important research branches and has become a hot topic in the study of neural engineering, rehabilitation, and brain science. Traditionally, most BCI systems use bulky, wired laboratory-oriented sensing equipments to measure brain activity under well-controlled conditions within a confined space. Using bulky sensing equipments not only is uncomfortable and inconvenient for users, but also impedes their ability to perform routine tasks in daily operational environments. Furthermore, owing to large data volumes, signal processing of BCI systems is often performed off-line using high-end personal computers, hindering the applications of BCI in real-world environments. To be practical for routine use by unconstrained, freely-moving users, BCI systems must be noninvasive, nonintrusive, lightweight and capable of online signal processing. This work reviews recent online BCI systems, focusing especially on wearable, wireless and real-time systems.
