Abstract
A novel method and apparatus of monitoring brain wave activity in a patient allows the patient to be mobile during the monitoring. A size adjustable skull cap is fitted to the patient. In the skull cap a plurality of sensors monitor the patient's brain waves and transmit the data with a polydirectional antenna over a wireless connection to a supporting system. The supporting system processes, correlates and allows a physician to review, edit and annotate the data obtained from monitoring the patient.
