Hearables: Multimodal physiological in-ear sensing

Abstract Future health systems require the means to assess and track the neural and physiological function of a user over long periods of time, and in the community. Human body responses are manifested through multiple, interacting modalities – the mechanical, electrical and chemical; yet, current p...

description	Abstract Future health systems require the means to assess and track the neural and physiological function of a user over long periods of time, and in the community.
