The smartphone brain scanner: a portable real-time neuroimaging system.
Combining low-cost wireless EEG sensors with smartphones offers novel opportunities for mobile brain imaging in an everyday context. Here we present the technical details and validation of a framework for building multi-platform, portable EEG applications with real-time 3D source reconstruction. The...

Combining low-cost wireless EEG sensors with smartphones offers novel opportunities for mobile brain imaging in an everyday context.

We discuss the benefits and challenges, including technical limitations as well as details of real-time reconstruction of 3D images of brain activity.
