Abstract Details

2014, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Electrical Engineering.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the measurement of electrical activity that takes place in the brain. EEG and the study of the waveforms thereby acquired are useful in the clinical and medical range. In addition to this, commercial applications and electronics are ever approaching the use of such technology as well. Moving forward in time, these technologies (as all technologies in general) are moving more towards becoming solutions composed entirely of embedded technology. As the technologies get smaller and more complex, the capabilities of current medical solutions are continually improving. The work presented in this thesis shows how embedded technologies can interface to completely comprise an entire EEG system. Among all things, this design is modular and wireless. This novel design concept provides ways to take an existing solution and improve its portability and adaptability, without compromising the accuracy of the system as a whole. The design itself is based on three main components: an Analog Front End, a 16-bit Microcontroller, and a Bluetooth Transceiver. This work will show that by interfacing these three main embedded devices, the results of a proven clinical EEG system can be replicated. Additionally, this work will show that this design can exceed in value the existing system due to its vast superiority in portability and adaptability.
