FORCE-CONTROLLED ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM MONITORING DEVICE
20230190196 · 2023-06-22 ·

A force-controlled electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring device maintains a constant pressure between electrodes and the scalp of a user thereby increasing user comfort. Arms on the EEG monitoring device position the electrodes in contact with specific regions on the head of the user. The dimension, shape, and curvature of the arms affect the amount of force with which an electrode is held in contact with the user's scalp. The amount of pressure may be different for different regions of the user's head to achieve a balance between comfort and conductivity. The amount of pressure may be further modulated by the use of spring-loaded electrode holders that allow an electrode to move relative to the holder. To further improve user comfort, the tips of the electrodes may be hemispherical rather than pointed. The EEG monitoring device can be used as input for a brain-computer interface (BCI).

Automated detection of breathing disturbances

Approaches to determining a sleep fitness score for a user are provided, such as may be based upon monitored breathing disturbances of a user. The system receives user state data generated over a time period by a combination of sensors provided via a wearable tracker associated with the user. A system can use this information to calculate a sleep fitness score, breathing disturbance score, or other such value. The system can classify every minute within the time period as either normal or atypical, for example, and may provide such information for presentation to the user.
