Abstract
A system for assessing brain health of a user includes an electronics module including an active brainwave sensor that collects channels of electroencephalography (EEG) brainwave data, a plurality of biological sensors, and a stimulation device. The biological sensors include a microphone that captures verbal responses of the subject during a battery of tasks, an image sensor that records eye positions, eye saccade and other biometric identification information, an accelerometer, a gyrometer, a thermometer, a pulse oximetry sensor, a dermal skin conductance sensor, and key strokes, mouse clicks or touch events to measure cognitive data of the user. The stimulation device applies a battery of tasks including a visual or photic stimulant, an auditory stimulant, a gastronomic stimulant, an olfactory stimulant, a touch stimulant, and a cognitive challenge stimulant to the user. The plurality of biological sensors simultaneously measure the body's response to stimulants for recordation by the electronics module.
