21.9 A wearable EEG-HEG-HRV multimodal system with real-time tES monitoring for mental health management

Abstract

Recently, wearable mental health management systems have been actively studied based on EEG monitoring and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) [1]. It was reported that mental activities cause neural, vascular and autonomie domain changes in the human brain [2]. However, the previous neurofeedback system [1] used only neural domain information with low spatial resolution (~10cm) EEG signals. Furthermore, EEG signals are easily interfered by tES stimulation signal, eye-blinking and EMG signals so that it is difficult to monitor in real-time during stimulation and to avoid electromagnetic noise for accurate mental health classification.
