  • the EEG measuring device 10 is equipped with an EEG electrode member 120 having a third through-hole 121, and a tube 151 passing through the third through-hole 121. Therefore, auxiliary liquid can be efficiently supplied to the area where the EEG electrode member 120 and the scalp 22 are in contact.
  • the auxiliary liquid can be supplied immediately before the measurement. Therefore, it is possible to use a liquid with low viscosity as the auxiliary. For example, if the auxiliary is applied before the EEG electrode member is placed on the head, there is a concern that the auxiliary will run off or evaporate before the measurement begins, and it is necessary to use a paste or gel-like auxiliary. When using a paste-like auxiliary, the auxiliary has a very high viscosity, so it is necessary to manually brush the hair aside to apply it, which is time-consuming.

  • the EEG measuring device 10 further includes wiring 163, circuit 162, wiring 165, signal processing unit 160, and reference potential measurement wiring 161.
  • conductive portion 164, wiring 163, circuit 162, and wiring 165 are provided for each EEG electrode member 120.
  • Wiring 163 and circuit 162 are fixed to the elastic member 130 together with conductive portion 164.
  • the electrical signal from the scalp 22 is transmitted to the conductive member 124 via the second portion 123c, the conductive portion 123b, and the wiring 127.
  • the electrical signal thus obtained at each EEG electrode member 120 is sent from the conductive member 124 of the EEG electrode member 120 to the signal processing unit 160 via the conductive portion 164, the wiring 163, the circuit 162, and the wiring 165.
  • the circuit 162 includes, for example, a preamplifier that amplifies the electrical signal from the EEG electrode member 120.
  • the signal processing unit 160 acquires electrical signals from the multiple EEG electrode members 120 (from the circuit 162).
  • the signal processing unit 160 performs processes such as amplification of the EEG electrical signal, analog-to-digital conversion, and frequency filtering.
  • the signal processing unit 160 can also record the EEG signal data obtained by performing these processes in a recording unit provided within the signal processing unit 160.
  • the signal processing unit 160 can also transmit the electroencephalogram signal data to an external device by wired or wireless communication.
  • the signal processing unit 160 is realized, for example, by using an integrated circuit. It is preferable that the signal processing unit 160 has a built-in battery. This eliminates the need to connect a power line to the signal processing unit 160 to supply power. Ultimately, the subject can move or be active to a certain degree during the measurement. It is also possible to prevent noise that depends on the frequency of the power supply.
  • the reference potential measurement wiring 161 connects the signal processing unit 160 and a reference electrode (not shown) to each other.
  • the reference electrode is an electrode for acquiring a reference potential that serves as a reference in measuring the electroencephalogram signal.
  • the reference electrode is attached to the earlobe or the upper part of the outer ear with a clip, or attached to the bone on the back side of the outer ear to acquire the reference potential.
  • the EEG measuring device 10 includes a support 110, an elastic member 130, an EEG electrode member 120, and a holding member 140.
  • the support 110 can be attached to the head 20.
  • the elastic member 130 is elastically deformable, and is provided with a first through hole 131.
  • the EEG electrode member 120 is held by the support 110 via the elastic member 130.
  • the holding member 140 passes through the first through hole 131, with one end 141 holding the EEG electrode member 120 and the other end 142 exposed to the outside of the support 110. Therefore, hair can be pushed aside and the EEG electrode can be stably brought into contact with the scalp.
