Abstract
At present, it is a real challenge to measure brain signals outside of the lab with portable systems that are robust, comfortable and easy to use. We propose in this article a bimodal electroencephalography-functional near-infrared spectroscopy (EEG-fNIRS) sensor whose spatial geometry allows the robust estimation of colocated electrical and hemodynamic brain activity. The geometry allows for the correction of extra-cerebral activity (short-channel distance) as well as the computation of the spatial gradient of absorbance required in the spatially resolved spectroscopy (SRS) method. The complete system is described, detailing the technical solutions implemented to provide signals at 250 Hz for both synchronized modalities and without crosstalk. The system performances are validated during an N-Back mental workload protocol.
