Each elastic curved strip 152 has a first end E1 and a second end E2 relative to the first end E1, wherein the first end E1 is connected to the anti-slip pad 154 and the second end E2 is connected The seats 140 are connected. In detail, The elastic curved strip 152 is used to hoop the top position of the user. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the headband assembly 150 includes two elastic curved strips 152, and the distance between adjacent two elastic curved strips 152 is from the center of the elastic curved strips 152 toward the first end E1. And the direction of the second end portion E2 is gradually decreased. In other embodiments, the elastic curved strips 152 may also be two or more, and the present invention does not limit the number of the elastic curved strips 152. In addition, the anti-slip pad 154 is bent along the arc of the elastic curved strip 152 and connected to the first end E1, and the connecting seat 140 is connected with the second end E2 to form a headband-like brain wave feeling.

The stop slider L2 protrudes from the side of the joint portion L1, and the joint portion L1 is connected to the first end portion E1. The T-type anti-slip pad 154 is a soft mat material, such as a rubber cushion. The T-shaped anti-slip pad 154 is used to provide a frictional force to the headband assembly 150 and to increase the comfort of the user's head. When the T-shaped slip pad 154 is in close contact with the user's scalp or hair, the headband assembly 150 is less prone to loosening. In addition, in order to better prevent the head The hoop assembly 150 slides, and a texture can also be added to the surface of the T-shaped anti-slip pad 154 to increase friction. However, the present invention does not limit the material and surface structure of the T-type slip pad 154.
承上所述，相較於習知腦波感測裝置的塑膠實心頭箍(如圖1所示的塑膠實心頭箍T)而言，彈性弧形條152較能貼合使用者頭形。據此，腦波感測裝置100較不易由使用者頭頂滑落，且彈性弧形條152能更為穩固且不緊繃地箍置於使用者頭頂，從而使用者得以更舒適地頭戴頭箍組件150。相較於習知腦波感測裝置的泡綿止滑墊U，T型止滑墊154的設計可以提供更佳的舒適性及止滑力，使得頭箍組件150能更加穩定牢靠。As described above, the elastic curved strip 152 is more conformable to the user's head shape than the plastic solid headband of the conventional brain wave sensing device (such as the plastic solid headband T shown in FIG. 1). Accordingly, the brain wave sensing device 100 is less likely to slip off the top of the user's head, and the elastic curved strip 152 can be more stable and not tightly hooped on the top of the user's head, so that the user can wear the headband more comfortably. Component 150. Compared with the foam slip pad U of the conventional brain wave sensing device, the T-shaped slip pad 154 is designed to provide better comfort and anti-slip force, so that the headband assembly 150 can be more stable and reliable.

Please refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C. In detail, when the user uses the brain wave sensing device 100, the elastic curved strip 152 is first placed in the overhead position, and then the anti-slip pad 154 is adjusted to be placed on the ear to reach the sliding position. effect. Next, the position of the arm body 130 is adjusted so that it is positioned in front of the forehead. The brain wave sensing unit 110 is rotated in accordance with the universal joint 120 such that the brain wave sensing unit 110 is attached to the forehead. According to this, the brain wave sensing unit 110 can measure the brain wave information of the user and generate the first brain wave signal accordingly.
此外，值得一提的是，根據第一腦波訊號，可以觀察腦部活動狀態。第一腦波訊號經過分析系統(例如電腦，未繪示)分析後可以得到生理訊息，而使用者可以將此生理訊息應用於生理評估、醫學治療或復健醫學等方面。In addition, it is worth mentioning that according to the first brain wave signal, the state of brain activity can be observed. The first brainwave signal can be analyzed by an analysis system (such as a computer, not shown) to obtain a physiological message, and the user can apply the physiological message to physiological assessment, medical treatment, or rehabilitation medicine.
