Abstract

Pediatric anxiety is increased during medical procedures, including EEG diagnostic settings. An EEG headset is designed around a specific and common diagnostic case, attempting to incorporate methods that reduceĀ child anxiety. The result is a minimalist form factor EEG headpiece that mounts onto sunglasses while retaining established clinical electrode placements.
