Design and implementation of secured bidirectional remote monitoring system for analysis of online live EEG feed

In this paper, a wireless network-based secured bidirectional remote monitoring system for analysis of online live EEG feed has been proposed. The technique makes use of a custom developed application programming interface plug-in to acquire live EEG feed directly in MATLAB on a host machine so as to build an On-Premise set-up for acquisition and processing of EEG data in real time. The online acquired EEG signals are then transmitted in real time over internet using secured virtual private network. Same EEG data can be viewed by multiple users simultaneously on smart devices connected from different geographical locations and over disparate network connectivity. The set-up includes a host computer with MATLAB, a commercially available Emotiv EEG neuro-headset, an android smart device and an iOS smart device. The future aim is to replicate set-up on public cloud SaaS offering and also move towards sophisticated user interfaces for handset applications.
