METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING AND PROCESSING BIOELECTRICAL AND AUDIO SIGNALS
A method and system for detecting bioelectrical signals and audio signals from a user, including establishing bioelectrical contact between a user and one or more sensors of a biomonitoring neuroheadset; collecting, at the one or more sensors, one or more bioelectrical signal datasets; collecting one or more reference signal datasets; collecting, at a microphone of the biomonitoring neuroheadset, an audio signal dataset; and generating a combined audio and bioelectrical signal processed dataset, including producing a noise-reduced bioelectrical signal dataset, and producing a conditioned audio signal dataset.
1 . A method for detecting bioelectrical signals and audio signals from a user, comprising:
establishing bioelectrical contact between a first subregion of an ear region of the user and a first electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor of a biomonitoring neuroheadset;
establishing bioelectrical contact between a second subregion of the ear region of the user and a first common mode sensor of a noise reduction subsystem of the biomonitoring neuroheadset, wherein the first subregion is proximal the second subregion, and wherein the first EEG sensor is proximal the common mode sensor;
collecting, at the first EEG sensor, a first EEG signal dataset from the user during a first time period;
collecting, at the first common mode sensor, a first common mode signal dataset contemporaneously with collecting the first EEG signal dataset during the first time period;
collecting, at a microphone of the biomonitoring neuroheadset, a first audio signal dataset from the user contemporaneously with collecting the first EEG signal dataset and the first common mode signal dataset during the first time period; and
generating a first combined audio and EEG processed dataset, comprising:
producing a common noise-reduced EEG dataset from the first EEG signal dataset and the first common mode signal dataset,
producing a conditioned audio signal dataset from processing the first audio signal dataset for transmission with the common noise-reduced EEG dataset, and
generating the first combined audio and EEG processed dataset from the common noise-reduced EEG dataset and the conditioned audio signal dataset.
