Open Workshop: Wireless-EEG Neurophysiological Monitoring Systems for Improving HCI Applications

Monday, 11 July 2011, 13:30 - 17:00, Room Jackson

Chair: Chris Berka, CEO

Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc. (ABM) develops and markets patented data acquisition technology and software for portable monitoring and real-time interpretation of physiological signals. Over the past decade ABM has developed and implemented mobile, user-friendly platforms for acquiring, integrating, analyzing and reporting multi-sensor data in laboratory and real-world applications. ABM's B-Alert products are a collection of wireless EEG systems that combine battery-powered hardware with a sensor placement system to provide a comfortable, lightweight, easy-to-apply, and unobtrusive method to acquire and analyze up to 24 channels of high-quality EEG along with additional physiological signals such as ECG, EOG, or EMG. This demo will feature the B-Alert x10 live physiological acquisition in an ambulatory environment, highlighting the system's simple set up and robust signal quality. The B-Alert software will also be demoed, featuring  ABM's real-time artifact identification and decontamination algorithms along with  validated, real-time EEG metrics of engagement (1), attention (2), distraction (3), fatigue (4), and cognitive workload (5).
