Human Achievement of the Day: At-home Brain Scanner

31.12.69

While traditional brain scanning techniques — such as positron emission tomography (PET scans), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRIs), and traditional electroencephalograms (EEGs) — provide significantly more data about brain activity, the bulky and expensive equipment is uncomfortable for patients and must be conducted in hospital or research labs, providing a biased picture of brain activity. That is why the mobile EEG device created by a research team at the Milab at the Technological University of Denmark has been called a “game changer” in understanding how the brain works.

The Emotiv EEG headset, which is used in conjunction with a smartphone, can be worn throughout the day to observe subjects’ brain activity “in the wild.” Specifically, the Danish researchers have made their system compatible with the Nokia N900 smartphone: a person wears the Emotiv headset and the brain wave data is processed on the phone into a 3D reconstruction of the activity and stored for researchers to investigate further.
