Abstract
This paper presents a review of wearable EEG technology: the evolution of ambulatory EEG units from the bulky, limited lifetime devices available today to small devices present only on the head that can record the EEG for days, weeks or months at a time. The EEG requirements, application areas and research challenges are highlighted. A survey of neurologists is also carried out clearly indicating the medical desire for such devices.
