Abstract: 

We present a radically new solution for EEG-based brain computer interface (BCI) where electrodes are embedded on a customized earpiece, as typically used in hearing aids (Ear-EEG). This provides a noninvasive, minimally intrusive and user-friendly EEG platform suitable for long-term use (days) in natural environments. The operation of Ear-EEG is illustrated for alpha-attenuation and responses to auditory stimuli, and its potential in BCI is evaluated on an SSVEP study. We show that Ear-EEG bitrate performance are comparable with those of on-scalp electrodes, thus promising a quantum step forward for wearable BCI.
