- Abstract
- Aside from a clinical interest in electroencephalography (EEG) measurements of real-time data with a high temporal resolution, there is a demand for acquisition systems that are operable outside the laboratory environment. In this study, we designed a wearable and low-power EEG system for multichannel EEG acquisition beyond the lab doors. Around-the-ear cEEGrid electrodes are used to capture 8 biopotential channels which are amplified by low-power precision instrumentation amplifiers and passed on to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). An ESP32 microcontroller captures the data from the ADC and stores it on an external SD card. The proposed system is compared to a state-of-the-art EEG acquisition system (BioSemi) to assess its diagnostic power for auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). The recordings with our portable system match, and even outperform, the baseline method's specifications. Our hardware opens up new avenues for fast sampling-rate auditory EEG recordings that can be used in hearing diagnostics, damage prevention and treatment follow up.
