Signal quality in wearable EEG: from electrode to data
A wearable EEG device has to record very small signals through electrodes that move, on a body that picks up interference, over a wireless link that can drop data. This guide follows the signal from the electrode to the stored data and sets out what keeps it clean at each step.
