1. A method for measuring electrical activity generated within a brain, the method comprising:
- placing a headpiece having a first transistor in contact with a head that contains the brain to bring the first transistor into electrical contact with the head;
generating, at the first transistor, an electronic signal in response to the electrical activity generated within the brain; and
processing the signal at the headpiece to measure the electrical activity.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for measuring electrical activity generated within a brain is disclosed. A headpiece having a first transistor is placed in contact with a head that contains the brain to bring the first transistor into electrical contact with the head. An electronic signal is generated at the first transistor in response to the electrical activity generated within the brain. The electronic signal is processed at the headpiece in order to measure the electrical activity.

15. A system for measuring electrical activity generated within a brain, the apparatus comprising:
-
a headpiece including a substrate, an integrated circuit formed on the substrate including a first transistor and a second transistor, an insulating layer formed on the integrated circuit, a first electrode on a surface of the insulating layer, a via through the insulating layer connecting one of the first transistor and the second transistor to the first electrode and via through the insulating layer connecting the first transistor to the second transistor, wherein the headpiece is placed in contact with a head that contains the brain to conform the substrate to the shape of the head to bring the first electrode into contact with the head; a processor formed within the integrated circuit that processes an electrical signal generated at the first transistor in response to the electrical activity within the brain in order to measure the electrical activity; and a remote processor to generate data useful for a diagnosis of the brain based on the measured electrical activity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 18, 19, 20)
