Today's technology is constantly undergoing new innovations and evolutions. In keeping with this trend, this project aims to take the well-established measuring technique of electroencephalography (EEG) and create a mobile implementation. The project has been performed at Chalmers. 

An Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to detect and measure ion currents in the brains nerve cells. These can be measured by attaching voltage sensitive electrodes on the scalp, and is used to determine difference conditions in the brain, such as epilepsy, coma and brain death.

The idea behind the project is that its mobility and availability can open an opportunity for large amounts of data. This large data set can potentially be used to analyse how humans catalogue what she learns, and how varying external stimuli affects this process.

Basic requirements include that it should function as a normal EEG, as well as there should exist a simple way to interact with the software. 

The project has consequently developed hardware to collect EEG-data, as well as created a GUI for easy use of the system. The project development is unfortunately an unfinished product, and some of the initial goals have not yet been completed. The results of the project has resulted in a more in-depth knowledge of what an EEG is, and also the limitations that exists in programming languages and hardware when one tries to create a real time system.

The results have been used as a knowledge base for another project, and aims to be used for more like-minded projects in the future.



%The project has been performed at Chalmers, the idea of which comes from Sakib Sistek, Research engineer at the Department of Network and Systems, Department of Computer and Information Technology, trying to create a mobile EEG. The thought behind the project is that it can be used to analyze how human catalogue what she learns, how different external stimuli affect this process, while facilitating for future research in a varying different medical fields. 

%The developement of the project unfortunately resulted in an unfinished product, and some of the minimal goals set from the start were unfinished. This is much because of the fact that there were more that needed to be done than what was thought at first, which in turn created timing problems with the planning and arrangement that were set at first. What was affected was therefore how much time certain tasks would take, as well as in which order that was deemed most suitible logicaly. 

%The functionality that works includes, amongst other things, a simple but multifunctional GUI which is a graphical representation on how to use the system. There are a number of different functionalities, described in the report, that works together to get recording, video and sound synchronisation and a few other things to work. 











%With the help of this GUI, users can control both start and stop, and also include metadata about the patient that is being examined. Metadata such as name, patientnummer and other information is being included, to easily organise the eventual data from the examination.
