1. An apparatus comprising:
- a band to be worn on a head of a person;
a first strip adjustably coupled to the band;
a first set of electrodes coupled to the first strip to gather a first set of signals from the head; and
a magnetic fastener to couple the first strip to the band, the magnetic fastener including;
a first housing slidably coupled to the band;
a first magnetic element coupled to the first housing;
a second housing coupled to the first strip; and
a second magnetic element coupled to the second housing, the second magnetic element to magnetically couple to the first magnetic element.

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
a band to be worn on a head of a person; a strip adjustably coupled to the band; a set of electrodes coupled to the strip to gather a set of signals from the head; and a magnetic fastener to couple the strip to the band, the magnetic fastener including; a first housing coupled to the band, the first housing including a first cavity; a first magnetic element disposed in the first cavity; a second housing coupled to the strip, the second housing including a second cavity; and a second magnetic element disposed in the second cavity, one of the first housing or the second housing including a rim defining the respective first cavity or the second cavity, wherein, to couple the strip to the band, the rim of the first housing or the second housing is inserted into the first cavity or the second cavity of the other of the first housing or the second housing and the second magnetic element is to magnetically couple to the first magnetic element.

22. An apparatus comprising:
-
a band to be worn on a head of a person; a strip adjustably coupled to the band, the strip to be disposed over the head of the person; a set of electrodes coupled to the strip to gather a set of signals from the head; a strap coupled to the strip; and a magnetic fastener to couple the strip to the band, the magnetic fastener including; a first housing coupled to the band; a first magnetic element coupled to the first housing; a second housing coupled to the strip and having an opening to receive the strap, the strap movable through the opening to adjust a force applied by the strip to the head of the person; and a second magnetic element coupled to the second housing, the second magnetic element to magnetically couple to the first magnetic element.
