Ambulatory Wearable EEG data-logger deployment challenges and its solutions

Designing the EEG data logger has always been challenging in terms of calibration and deployment with standard operational procedures. Until date, it is having different solutions and tested devices working in medical research labs or institutes. Wearable portable devices may be needed to remove from body and then connect physically or wirelessly to the host machine for data exchange. Transferring data to local host is feasible and available functionality in EEG data logger unit, but transferring it or sharing the data with remote or external entity is not available at many data loggers. Wireless connectivity may create radio waves issues and physical connectivity may create connection issues. On the other hand, portable EEG devices needs to run on battery power so execution and duty cycles need to optimize in terms or resources utilization for better battery life. Proposed research is primarily focused on finding out the different issues in portable EEG device designing and proposing the best possible solutions for making EEG device ambulatory and usable in public domain rather than clinical or research lab environment. Work will be divided in finding out right hardware selection and optimization or software based calibration for better resource utilization and performance enhancement.
