EEG for Human and Rat

=Problem Definition= The goal of the project is to create a low cost electroencephalogram device (EEG) that collects accurate data, and is easy for high school students to use and have access to. The secondary goal for this project is to create another EEG device for rats, that is to be used as a non-invasive testing method.

Background
The first part of this project stems from the need for more affordable resources for high school student. The average cost for an EEG is upwards of $800, which is much too expensive to be utilizes in most high schools. This is where we come in, we are trying to create am EEG device that can be made for under $100 that is able to collect accurate data, and aide the learning of students. The second part of this project comes from there not being a way to read a rat's brain waves without being incredibly invasive to the rat as well as endangering its life. We are out to create an EEG that is small enough and accurate enough to read a rat's brain waves without being overly invasive.

Specifications
=Design Considerations= Human Edition: For this EEG, we changed up the design from the previous years. They have all gone with a rigid 3D printed design, but we are trying to find something more flexible. For this we decided to use neoprene and make it more of a "wig-cap" design to ensure a stronger connection. The neoprene reduces the amount of noise to to lack of shifting around, and seems to be the best design.
