At-home health biometrics tracking is a growing market as consumers recognize the importance of empowering themselves when it comes to their personal health. For consumers to integrate health biometrics tracking into their day-to-day lives, it needs to be presented in a positive way. In this post, we’re going to explore the importance of positive experiences… Read More»
In our blog overviewing consumer EEG, we touched upon the concept that the use case dictates the complexity, cost and inconvenience of the optimal EEG system. Today, we will be looking at one important factor that affects all three of these areas when it comes to BCI devices: the number of EEG electrodes chosen to… Read More»
Biofeedback therapy gives consumers the power to use their brain to better understand and control the inner workings of their body. Thanks to biofeedback, manufacturers have the opportunity to develop life-changing wearable and mobile devices for consumers from all walks of life. However, in order for device manufacturers to harness the power of biofeedback therapy,… Read More»
In our previous blog, we emphasized how BCI has been traditionally applied to control scenarios. We also pointed out that consumer BCI loses significant control granularity as a trade-off in order to meet consumer requirements for price, ease-of-use, aesthetic design and mobility. Its value proposition as a precise controller peripheral is weakened through this sacrifice… Read More»
In the EEG world, a Brain-Computer Interface is known as a BCI. Webster’s Dictionary defines an interface as a system through which one machine is connected to another machine. Unfortunately, this definition doesn’t explain how the data from the transmitting machine is being processed and utilized by the receiving machine. It also doesn’t elaborate on the… Read More»
Our world changes dramatically with each tick of the clock. Technology is constantly evolving and opening up new opportunities we never thought were possible. Take a classic example—the telephone. Not too long ago, many of us were stuck at home waiting next to our landlines for a service consultant to get back to us between… Read More»
Our earlier blog briefly introduced the topic of EEG artifacts. Basically, artifacts are noise sources that have overlaid onto the EEG and corrupted the purity of the brainwave signal when they are present. This is where noise filtering electronics, special materials and industrial design techniques are necessary to reduce noise influences. Two artifact types deserve… Read More»
When investigating applications for biosensors—particularly electrocardiograms—you’ll eventually come across two very common abbreviations: ECG and EKG. If you’re not familiar with these abbreviations, it can be tricky to determine which is which. However, once you know the difference between an ECG and an EKG, you’ll be well on your way to discovering what makes them increasingly valuable tools… Read More»
Merriam-Webster defines an algorithm as a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end. Algorithms can be developed for any process—from how to make your morning coffee to something as odd as establishing a friendship (diagram). In the biosensor world, you will hear phrases like EEG algorithms. What are EEG algorithms and what… Read More»
In our previous blog, we introduced the idea of EEG frequency bands, which can basically be described as a fixed range of wave frequencies and amplitudes over a time scale. These bands are components of the overall EEG waveform captured at an electrode. Scientists use mathematical models such as Fast Fourier Transforms to extract the… Read More»
