MRI Compatible EEG Layer

Overview

For my undergraduate senior design project, I was part of a team that was tasked with creating an EEG cap reference layer. Reference layers are being researched more as a means for decreasing the amount of noise during simultaneous EEG-fMRI data collection. The final design for the reference layer shown above was made completely from scratch. The cap is made out of 3 pieces of spandex and nylon fabric that were assembled to fit on a head and under an EEG cap. It was then coated in conductive ink so that EEG readings could be performed.

My team consisted of only one other student, and we were partnered with the Lewis Lab at Boston University for the project. Our design was used for further human subjects testing in the lab and was recently included in a paper that was submitted for publication. The paper can be found here.

The final full report for our senior design project can be found here on Github.
