Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a miniature biosignal data sensor and recorder device, (NAT-1) with 3-axis accelerometer, and a 2KSa/sec all-channel recording capacity of 24 hours or more with a single zinc-air battery cell. The device measures less than 18x22mm and weighs less than 2.3 grams, including the battery. The device is evaluated in several contexts, including electroencephalography data collection, forearm electromyography capture, and in use as an accelerometer for movement capture in sport. We describe the device, its use, and show examples of some monitoring applications; in all cases, data is collected in an untethered stand-alone mode. The NAT-1 has already achieved translation to commercialization and is the first of a new family of sensors.
