A headset and methods for using the headset to collect EEG data, PPG data and IMU data are disclosed. Raw EEG data generated from the headset (or other device) may be received. The EEG data may be run through spectral analysis to isolate various spectral components in each channel, isolating the brain wave components for each channel. Similar data for heart rate, respiratory rate and heart rate variability can be extrapolated from PPG data as well as the positional movements in space along with acceleration and angular velocity may be determined from IMU data. A visual display may be generated based on the isolated components.

Multicomponent electrocardiography monitor

Physiological monitoring can be provided through a lightweight wearable monitor that includes two components, a flexible extended wear electrode patch and a reusable monitor recorder that removably snaps into a receptacle on the electrode patch. The wearable monitor sits centrally on the patient's chest along the sternum oriented top-to-bottom. The placement of the wearable monitor in a location at the sternal midline, with its unique narrow “hourglass”-like shape, significantly improves the ability of the wearable monitor to cutaneously sense cardiac electrical potential signals, particularly the P-wave and the QRS interval signals indicating ventricular activity in the ECG waveforms. In particular, the ECG electrodes on the electrode patch are tailored to be positioned axially along the midline of the sternum for capturing action potential propagation in an orientation that corresponds to the aVF lead used in a conventional 12-lead ECG that is used to sense positive or upright P-waves.
