Abstract

A brain wave detecting apparatus includes a plurality of brain wave detecting portions that are arranged on a side surface of a head and detect brain waves of the head, a selecting portion selecting one of the plurality of brain wave detecting portions on the basis of brain wave signals transmitted from the plurality of brain wave detecting portions, and a transmitting portion transmitting information about the brain wave signal transmitted from said one of the plurality of brain wave detecting portions.

Claims

1. A brain wave detecting apparatus comprising:

a plurality of brain wave detecting portions that are arranged on a side surface of a head and detect brain waves of the head;

a selecting portion selecting one of the plurality of brain wave detecting portions on the basis of brain wave signals transmitted from the plurality of brain wave detecting portions; and

a transmitting portion transmitting information about the brain wave signal transmitted from said one of the plurality of brain wave detecting portions.

2. The brain wave detecting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of the brain wave detecting portions are arranged on the side surface of the head in a vertical direction.

3. The brain wave detecting apparatus as claimed it claim 1, wherein the plurality of the brain wave detecting portions are arranged on the side surface of the head in a lateral direction.

4. The brain wave detecting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of the brain wave detecting portions are arranged in vertical and lateral directions on the side surface of the head so as to form a cross shape.

5. The brain wave detecting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a hat on which the plurality of the brain wave detecting portions are arranged.
