  1. 1. Developing a portable, customizable, single-channel EEG device for homecare and validating it against a commercial EEG device

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Máté Károly Tóth; [2023]
    Keywords : Electroencephalography EEG ; Portable EEG; Single-channel EEG; Commercial EEG; Brain-machine interface; Prototype development; Elektroencefalografi EEG ; Bärbar EEG; Enkanaligt EEG; Kommersiellt EEG; Hjärna-maskin-gränssnitt; Prototyputveckling;

    Abstract : There are several commercial electroencephalography (EEG) devices on the market; however, affordable devices are not versatile for diverse research applications. The purpose of this project was to investigate how to develop a low-cost, portable, single-channel EEG system for a research institute that could be used for neurofeedback-related applications in homecare.

  3. 2. Using EEG in neurofeedbacktraining to decrease visual motionsensitivity and motion-sickness

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Ódinn K. Rúnarsson; [2021]
    Keywords : EEG; vertigo; motion sickness; neurofeedback training; rehabilitation; EE-utrustning; visuell yrsel; åksjuka; neurofeedback träning; rehabilitering;

    Abstract : Patients who suffer from motion-sickness, visual vertigo and other conditions relating to visual hypersensitivity will often feel dizzy when exposed to rapid visual motion or cluttered fields-of-view. Previous studies indicate that attentiveness to these stimuli influence the intensity of discomfort for these individuals, which suggests that mentally ignoring visual stimuli might help make them more tolerable.

  4. 3. Concussion in Soccer: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Protective Headbands in Head-to-Head Impacts Using Finite Element Models

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Rebekka Sverrisdóttir; [2019]
    Keywords : Brain injuries; Protective soccer headgear; KTH head model; Finite Element simulations; Material testing; Hjärnskador; Huvudskydd för fotboll; KTH huvudmodel; Finita Element simuleringar; Materialprovning;

    Abstract : Introduction Concussion is an increasing concern in soccer, a sport where players actively use their heads as a part of the game without being required to wear protective headgear. Protective headgear is available but studies disagree about their effectiveness. READ MORE

  5. 4. Finite Element Modeling of an Innovative Headband : A study about the headband design and its safety properties

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Giuliana Mozzi; [2017]
    Keywords : finite element; FEM; headband; innovative; modeling; safety;

    Abstract : One of the most recent challenges faced worldwide is the so-called “ageing population” phenomenon. Besides the disabilities and illnesses that the elderly is prone to, traumatic brain injuries represent a common and potentially fatal factor that greatly affects this population. READ MORE
