1. Interim Presentation EEG Signal Acquisition and Analysis for Mental Workload Monitoring

2. Brief Overview of project goals Achievements to date w/r project goals Tasks remaining Schedule Technical Issues current or foreseen

3. The first aim of this project is to acquire a suitable EEG signal using the conventional method and compare with dry electrodes. Aim 1

4. Psychology department laboratory equipment EasyCap equipment

5. Tasks Completed Corresponding Verified that the EasyCap Impedance Meter ordered was suitable for use in the project Examined the code written for the EEG software in the Psychology department and verified that it was suitable for use in the project Preformed Conventional testing Compared conventional and micro- needle electrodes in laboratory testing

6. Wet Electrodes Imp vs Time

7. Wet vs Dry

9. Aim 2 develop an application that uses EEGs to monitor the mental workload of an individual in real time

10. Emotiv EPOC

11. Tasks Completed Corresponding Began preliminary work with Emotiv Headset Preformed research into methods used for monitoring mental workloads Have begun looking into a sample application to analyse EEG samples using Emotiv EPOC Software that records Emotiv info in real time*
