Abstract
Head-mounted EEG products are wearable devices that detect the voltage fluctuations generated by the ionic currents of neurons in the brain, which is caused by the changes in people’s brain states. As EEG products collect the physiological signals of the brain from the head directly, the better an EEG headset fits a wearer’s head, the more accurate the EEG signals obtained are. At present, most of EEG headsets are designed for European and American users. There are few EEG headsets that are suitable for Chinese user. In addition, there is no specific study on measuring the head size of Chinese people for the purpose of designing an EEG headset. This study is aimed at collecting the size information of the head of Chinese users. The results become important reference while designing EEG headsets.
