NEURO-RESPONSE DATA SYNCHRONIZATION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving neuro-response data from a user at a dry electrode arranged on a flexible electroencephalography (EEG) headset, the user exposed to stimulus material from a stimulus material presentation mechanism, wherein the dry electrode is configured to make a point contact with the scalp of the user;
receiving a shared clock signal associated with a stimulus material presentation mechanism at the flexible EEG headset;
synchronizing the neuro-response data from the user with stimulus material presented to the user by accessing the shared clock signal associated with a stimulus material presentation mechanism;
transmitting neuro-response data including timing information generated using the shared clock signal to a data analyzer to allow determination of the effectiveness of stimulus materials presented to the user.

Abstract
Efficient and effective mechanisms for collecting electroencephalography (EEG) data are provided to synchronize neuro-response data collection with stimulus material presentation for in situ engagement monitoring and tracking. An EEG headset includes multiple point electrodes individually isolated and amplified. In some examples, a stimulus material presentation mechanism includes a clock source and a clock transmitter. The clock transmitter sends clock signals to a neuro-response data collection mechanism to allow synchronization of neuro-response data collected with stimulus presentation events. The EEG headset can be configured to perform processing while supporting both continuous input and output.
