Low Power Active Electrode ICs for Wearable EEG Acquisition [Hardcover]

This book presents fundamental requirements, electrical specification, and parameter tradeoffs of wearable EEG acquisition circuits, especially those compatible with dry electrodes for user-friendly recordings. ?The authors introduce active electrode, the most promising solution for dry electrodes-based EEG measurement. This architectural concept has been combined with various, innovative circuit design techniques to illustrate structured IC design methodologies for high performance EEG recording. This book also gives examples on the design, implementation and evaluation of three generations of active electrode ICs.

Jiawei Xu received his M.Sc and Ph.D degrees in 2006 and 2016, both from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. From 2006, he has been working at Holst Centre/imec on low power sensor interfaces and wearable biomedical ICs. He is currently a senior researcher, leading the R&D on brain monitoring circuits and systems for wearable healthcare. He has developed biomedical signal acquisition ICs for EEG, ECG, bio-impedance, galvanic skin response (GSR) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Dr. Xu was the recipient of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Predoctoral Achievement Award (2014) and the imec Scientific Excellence Award (2014). ?
