EEG glasses (electroencephalographic eyewear)
View Patent ↗This invention comprises EEG glasses (electroencephalographic eyewear) with a side section of an eyewear frame which spans forward and upward onto a portion of the person's forehead and then curves back downward to connect to the front section of the eyewear frame. These EEG glasses (electroencephalographic eyewear) further include a flexible protrusion which is attached to the side section and an electromagnetic energy sensor which collects data concerning electromagnetic brain activity, wherein the flexible protrusion holds the electromagnetic energy sensor.
1. A pair of eyeglasses which collects data concerning electromagnetic energy from a person's brain comprising:
a front portion of a frame of the pair of eyeglasses which is configured to be worn on the person's head and to span from one eye to the other eye across a portion of the front of the person's face;
at least one optical lens which is configured to be worn within 6″ of one of the person's eyes and which is attached to or an integrated part of the front portion of the frame of the pair of eyeglasses;
at least one side portion of the frame of the pair of eyeglasses which is attached to or an integrated part of the front portion of the frame of the pair of eyeglasses and which is configured to be worn on or around one of the person's ears, wherein a middle section of the side portion of the frame of the pair of eyeglasses is shaped like a conic section;
an electromagnetic energy sensor which is attached to or an integrated part of the middle section of the side portion of the frame of the pair of eyeglasses and which is configured to receive electromagnetic energy from the person's brain; and
a control unit with which the at least one electromagnetic energy sensor is in electromagnetic communication.
