Abstract
An improved apparatus and method of using an EEG net to obtain electroencephalographic measurements from a patient in an emergent or urgent care setting. The net is comprised of a headpiece with a plurality of straps and recording ports formed therein. A recording head of an electrode is associated with each recording port and is pre-incorporated into the net. Transmitting wires are associated with each electrode head and have common terminating points. The terminus of each wire is hard wired into a connecting device that can be directly mated to a receiving console or remotely transmit wirelessly the electrode signals.

13. An electroencephalography system comprising:
-
a support structure that is adapted to cover at least predetermined areas on a patient'"'"'s head when it is mounted on a patient'"'"'s head; a plurality of electrodes that are mounted on the support structure so that, when the support structure is mounted on a patient'"'"'s head, the electrodes are distributed around the patient'"'"'s head and are capable of measuring usable electrical signals that are representative of electrical activity or activity in a patient'"'"'s head; at least one connector having an output and an input, each of the plurality of electrodes being operatively coupled to the input of the connector so that, when the headpiece is mounted on a patient'"'"'s head and when the electrodes are detachably coupled to the predetermined portions of a patient'"'"'s head, electrical signals that are representative of electrical brain activity of the patient are sent to the output of the connector; and a first transmitter that is capable of being operatively coupled to the output of the connector. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
