ardEEG shield works with Arduino UNO R4 WiFi for biosignals measurement
PiEEG has launched the ardEEG shield specially designed for the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi and capable of measuring biosignals such as those used in electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and electrocardiography (ECG).
PiEEG, led by Ildar Rakhmatulin, Research Associate at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, launched the PiEEG shield for Raspberry Pi to enable brain-computer interfaces last year, and now the company has been working on the equivalent design for Arduino with the ardEEG shield equipped with eight channel taking input from wet or dry electrodes.
The ardEEG shield is not a medical device and, as such, has not been certified by any government regulatory agency, so it’s better suited to the education and research markets although users can still create their own brain-computer interface projects for example to control robotic arm manipulation or for health monitoring.
PiEEG provides an Arduino sketch to read data from the electrodes plus a Python program for signal processing and visualization. Some examples include chewing and blinking and EEG signals monitoring, You’ll find everything to get started on GitHub. The video below also shows a short demo of the solution.
