Development of a device for EEG measurement that can be used universally in veterinary medicine

The aim is to develop a device for EEG recording that makes it possible to replace the expensive methods available. The technological approach is to develop a wearable for real-time monitoring of the brain's electrical activity. The challenges lie in the miniaturisation and customisable placement of the electrodes in the textile base carrier as well as in the artefact-adjusted signal evaluation, for which classic signal processing methods are used and the results are visualised via mobile devices. The application scenario is general anaesthesia with the aim of individual dose optimisation. The development pursues a universal approach in order to be able to treat different species from dogs (> 15 kg) to large animals. This is directly linked to the potential use in veterinary practices, where suitable technology for real-time brainwave monitoring is not currently available in a satisfactory manner.
