Abstract

Devices, and methods for monitoring cerebro-hemodynamic signals are disclosed. In one aspect, the devices and methods may include receiving at least one signal characterizing a bioimpedance measurement. The at least one signal may be correlated with the timing of a cardiac wave and analyzed to ascertain an extent of an expected characteristic within the signal. The extent of the expected characteristic may be used to provide information for predicting a physiological brain condition. The at least one signal may include two signals, obtained from opposite brain hemispheres, and may be a bioimpedance signal.
