Two-channel data logger for quantitative EEG recording while driving

A hardware and software design and development is described for a two-channel portable recording device specifically to collect the electroencephalogram (EEG). The application intended for this device was collection of EEG data from drivers, while driving under controlled conditions on closed roads or circuits. The monitoring of driver reactions may lead to a better understanding of driving abilities and improve road safety. To this end, the design criteria of the portable device included size, weight, power consumption, operating ease, noise immunity, and reliability under extreme conditions. The construction and initial testing has been completed, and the device is now ready for full-scale field experiments.
