Summary:
«If you’ve ever had a brain scan, or even just seen one on TV, you probably know that it’s kind of a big deal. Measuring brain activity usually involves functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) — that’s when the patient goes into the big humming tube — or electroencephalography (EEG), in which electrodes are attached to the scalp. It could also mean electrocorticography (ECoG), a surgical procedure in which an electrode is placed under the scalp. But what if there was a much simpler way to measure brain activity? One that doesn’t require a clinical setting, much less an invasive surgery? There just might be. Researchers at Japan’s Osaka University have developed an EEG wearable that can measure brain activity in everyday settings.»
