TY  - JOUR
AB  - We introduce a novel in-ear sensor which satisfieskey design requirements for wearable electroencephalography(EEG)—it is discreet, unobtrusive, and capable of capturinghigh-quality brain activity from the ear canal. Unlike our initialdesigns, which utilize custom earpieces and require a costlyand time-consuming manufacturing process, we here introducethe generic earpieces to make ear-EEG suitable for immediateand widespread use. Our approach represents a departure fromsilicone earmoulds to provide a sensor based on a viscoelasticsubstrate and conductive cloth electrodes, both of which areshown to possess a number of desirable mechanical and electricalproperties. Owing to its viscoelastic nature, such an earpieceexhibits good conformance to the shape of the ear canal, thusproviding stable electrode–skin interface, while cloth electrodesrequire only saline solution to establish low impedance contact.The analysis highlights the distinguishing advantages comparedwith the current state-of-the-art in ear-EEG. We demonstratethat such a device can be readily used for the measurement ofvarious EEG responses.
