EEG net with transmission capabilities
An improved apparatus and method of using an EEG net to obtain electroencephalographic measurements from a patient in an emergent or urgent care setting. The net is comprised of a headpiece with a plurality of straps and recording ports formed therein. A recording head of an electrode is associated with each recording port and is pre-incorporated into the net. Transmitting wires are associated with each electrode head and have common terminated points. The terminus of each wire is hard wired into a connecting device that can be directly mated to a receiving console or remotely transmit wirelessly the electrode signals.
1. A method for recording mammalian brain activity using an electroencephalography net comprising a flexible net and a plurality of electrodes, the method comprising:
locating the electrodes in the flexible net corresponding to selected positions on a scalp;
electrically connecting the electrodes to at least one electrical transmitter; and
attaching the flexible net to the scalp after the electrodes have been located in the flexible net.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising recording signals from the electrodes.
