DIY EEG for Stress Management
This is an EEG, or an electroencephalogram, a brain activity monitoring method, that is being used to identify stressors for people who suffer from ASD. The goal is to help them adjust to and overcome these stressors as quickly as possible in order to improve their mood.
Materials- Disposable electrodes
- Applicable wiring, resistors, batteries, etc. - Audio software and mobile app - Various amplifiers of varying strengths |
PurposeTo help people with ASD compensate for everyday stressors so that they and their caregivers can have a better quality of life based on the analysis of brain impulses.

Our inspiration came from our Uncle Mark but some of our guidance for the preliminary EEG came from a project made by a Harvard student. Her goal was to create a cheap, small EEG, two problems that we acknowledged at the beginning of our design process. We were then able to expand upon this to create our final device.
