ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY HEADSET AND SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING BIOSIGNAL DATA
One variation of a system for collecting biosignal data includes: a left junction; a right junction; a first band spanning the left and right junctions; a first band adjuster configured to adjust a length of the first band between the left and right junctions; a second band spanning the left and right junctions and radially offset from the first band about a lateral axis spanning the left and right junctions; a second band adjuster configured to adjust a length of the second band between the left and right junctions; a first electrode fixedly mounted to the first band and centered between the left and right junctions; a second electrode mounted to the first band offset from the first electrode and laterally-adjustable along the length of the first band; and a third electrode mounted to the second band and laterally-adjustable along the length of the second band.
ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY WEARABLE ELECTRODES
The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for use of wearable electrode assemblies. The electrode assemblies improve comfort by providing increased overall surface area of their bottom surfaces, which make contact with the patient's scalp and hair. Collapse, compression, or telescoping of the bottom surface will thereby decrease the direct force and/or pressure applied by the distal member or members of the bottom surfaces to the skin. This may be advantageous in patients who have little to no hair in electrode contact areas, patient populations that are particularly skin-sensitive, and/or patients which must wear the electrode assemblies of an extended time period. The electrode assemblies further include structures to dispense and/or maintain conductive gel placed over the patient's skin, thereby maintaining electrical connection quality, and/or to facilitate the clearing of skin and/or hair prior to establishing an electrical connection.

APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT A USER'S BRAIN RESOURCES, NON-TRANSITORY MACHINE-READABLE MEDIUM AND PROGRAM
An apparatus for providing information about a user's brain resources is provided. The apparatus includes at least sensor interface circuitry and processing circuitry coupled to the sensor interface circuitry. In a calibration mode, the sensor interface circuitry is configured to receive first sensor data from an electroencephalography sensor. The first sensor data are indicative of an electroencephalogram of the user. Further, the sensor interface circuitry is configured to receive second sensor data from a physiological sensor in the calibration mode. The second sensor data are indicative of a physiological property of the user. In the calibration mode, the processing circuitry is configured to train a brain-physiological model for the user based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data.
