Abstract
A system for monitoring brain waves includes a detection electrode that is detects brain waves and is located on the part of the ear that is in or above the ear canal. The detection electrode also generates a brain wave data signal. A reference electrode is included in the system, and operates to detect a reference signal and to generate a reference data signal. A monitor is also included and receives the brain wave data signal and the reference data signal. The detection electrode and reference electrode form an electrode pair, and the monitor processes the brain wave data signal and data reference signal to generate neurofeedback.
