"Star Wars" helmet for detecting concussion
From: AlphaGalileo - 05/10/2016

The Norwegian company Smartbrain, which works with EEG-based diagnoses, came
up with the idea to develop a portable system that could detect concussion at
an early stage so that the right treatment could be given as soon as
possible. With a patented idea for a new method of running EEGs, the company
launched an EU-funded project which has just been completed.

In the new system developed during this project, Smartbrain has focused on
developing a device that makes assembly fast and recording completely
automatic. An elastic membrane is fitted inside the helmet which ensures that
the same pressure is applied to all parts of the scalp. If a negative
pressure is then applied within the helmet, the membrane will inflate to
enable the helmet to be placed on the patient's head. A conducting gel is
then released to establish electrical contact and signal recording can begin
after about a minute.
