First Claim
Patent Images
1. An EEG headset system, comprising:
- an amplifier assembly;
a headband assembly configured to fit over a wearer'"'"'s head and formed of a right headband arm, a left headband arm and an amplifier platform configured to support the amplifier assembly;
right and left lateral support assemblies configured to sit proximate the wearer'"'"'s right and left temporal fossae respectively and each of the lateral support assemblies are formed with an anatomically conforming curvature to cover most of the temporal fossa having a first curve that is substantially in the anterior-posterior direction and a second curve that is substantially in the superior-inferior direction and to leave the wearer'"'"'s ears unobstructed;
a left hinge assembly connecting the left lateral support assembly to the left headband arm, the left hinge assembly including a spring configured to automatically adjust an angle of the left lateral support assembly by biasing the left lateral support assembly inward to exert lateral support on the wearer'"'"'s left temporal fossa;
a right hinge assembly connecting the right lateral support to the right headband arm, the right hinge assembly including a spring configured to automatically adjust an angle of the right lateral support assembly by biasing the right lateral support assembly inward to exert lateral support on the wearer'"'"'s right temporal fossa; and
an EEG electrode disposed within one of the right and left lateral support assemblies;
wherein the EEG electrode is in electrical communication with the amplifier assembly via electrical connection disposed within the headband assembly.
