Mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI) is a rapidly evolving research area, due, in part to advancements in wearable electrophysiological devices and sensors. Historically, movement of electrode lead wires during EEG data acquisition resulted in large artifacts that often obscured the underlying biological signal. Today, with the release of active electrode technologies, recording electrodes are more robust and resistant to movement artifacts. Several wireless EEG systems have accelerometers embedded in the amplifier or headset or so that researchers can control for head and/or body movements. It is also possible to record global positioning system (GPS) coordinates and later combine that with the EEG data. Being able to record clean EEG and peripherals signals (e.g., like heart rate and respiration) outside of the laboratory environment allows researchers to answer exciting questions about how the brain works in real-world conditions (e.g., while driving a car or making a purchase in the grocery store) or during extreme activities (e.g., skydiving, exercising, weightlessness). We offer a variety of solutions for mobile and wireless EEG recordings, several of which are scalable to accommodate the growing needs of researchers who want to push the boundaries of EEG research.
