Today we are featuring a fascinating patent by NeuroSky, coupling an audio headphone set system with EEG signal detection.
U.S. Patent No. 8,271,075: Audio headset with bio-signal sensors
The ‘075 patent couples an audio headphone set system with EEG signal detection by integrating an EEG sensor (item 15 in the illustrative image) into the audio earpiece to establish a sensing headset that is unlikely to cause discomfort or otherwise detract from the audio headphone user’s experience. The ear…
