Embodiment Construction

[0038] Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like components or steps, broad aspects of preferred embodiments are disclosed.

[0039] figure 1 is an exemplary embodiment of an apparatus 100 for ambulatory monitoring of brain activity. The exemplary device 100 includes a plurality of exemplary electrodes 110, a power source (not shown), such as a battery, and a signal processor 120 for processing data received by the device. The device 100 may be manufactured as a strap or as a strap for wearing by epileptic neuropathy patients. The signal processor and the power supply may also be integrated in an exemplary strap or strap of the device 100 .

[0040] An array of electrodes 110 is arranged around signal processor 120 and is connected to signal processor 120 by main line 130 . If integrated with a strap or strap, the main wire 130 is preferably completely contained within the strap or strap of the device 100 . Therefore, the main wire 130 i...

Abstract

A device for ambulatory monitoring of brain activity includes a patch secured to a head of a monitoring subject and an electrode secured to the head of the monitoring subject. The electrode produces a signal indicating brain activity of the monitoring subject. The device further includes a signal processor that receives the signal produced by the electrode and processes the signal to produce data. The signal processor is secured to the monitoring subject. The device further includes a display that displays the data produced by the signal processor, the display being secured to the monitoring subject. The device also includes a power source secured to the monitoring subject, the power source providing power to the electrode, the signal processor, and the display wherein the monitoring subject may ambulate unimpeded by the patch, the electrode, the signal processor, the display and the power source.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to devices for monitoring brain activity, for example in epileptic patients. Background technique [0002] Epilepsy is a very common chronic neurological disease. Epilepsy is characterized by relapses and sudden seizures for no apparent reason. Seizures are also considered sudden events. The interval between seizures in people with epileptic neuropathy is called the interictal period. About 0.8% of the population is affected by epilepsy. [0003] Drugs and other treatments to control the intensity or reduce the frequency of seizures are known. For example, brain stimulation is a known method of controlling and substantially reducing seizures in patients with epileptic neuropathy. [0004] Devices are known for measuring brain activity in order to diagnose and treat neurological disorders such as epilepsy. However, such devices are typically extremely bulky. For at least these reasons, measurements obtained...
