Abstract :
A wireless multichannel data acquisition system is being designed for ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG) recording. The system is based on a custom integrated circuit (ASIC) for signal conditioning, amplification and digitization and also on commercial components for RF transmission. It supports the RF transmission of a 32-channel EEG recording sampled at 1 kHz with a 12-bit resolution. The RF communication uses the MICS band (Medical Implant Communication Service) at 402-405 Mhz. This integration is a first step towards a lightweight EEG cap for Brain Computer Interface (BCI) studies. Here, we present the platform architecture and its submodules. In vivo validations are presented with noise characterization and wireless data transfer measurements.
