Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for ECG signal reconstruction from an EEG signal. In some embodiments, a method comprises: determining, with at least one processor, heartbeat timestamps from a heartrate signal; obtaining an electroencephalography (EEG) signal from an EEG sensor; aligning, with the at least one processor, the EEG signal with the heartbeat timestamps; collaborative filtering, with the at least one processor, the beat-aligned EEG signal; and determining, with the at least one processor, an approximation of an electrocardiography (ECG) signal based on the filtered beat-aligned EEG signal.

Abstract: A head-mounted device having a plurality of electrodes configured to detect optical events such as the movement of one or more eyes or coarse eye gestures is disclosed. In some examples, the one or more electrodes can be coupled to dielectric elastomer materials whose shape can be changed to vary contact between a user of the head-mounted device and the one or more electrodes to ensure sufficient contact and electrode signal quality. In some examples, the one or more electrodes can be coupled to pressure sensors and control circuitry to monitor and adjust the applied pressure. In some examples, the optical events can be used as triggers for operating the device, including transitioning between operational power modes. In some examples, the triggers can invoke higher resolution sensing capabilities of the head-mounted device. In some examples, the electrodes can be used as an on-head detector to wake-up and/or unlock the device.

Abstract: Electrodes that can be formed in a flexible band of a wrist-worn device to detect hand gestures are disclosed. Multiple rows of electrodes can be configured to detect electromyography (EMG) signals produced by activity of muscles and tendons. The band can include removable electrical connections (e.g., pogo pins) to enable the electrode signals to be routed to processing circuitry in the housing of the wrist-worn device. Measurements between signals from the active electrodes and one or more reference electrodes can be obtained to capture EMG signals at a number of locations on the band. The measurement method and mode of operation (lower power coarse detection or higher power fine detection) can determine the location and number of electrodes to be measured. These EMG signals can be processed to identify hand movements and recognize gestures associated with those hand movements.

Abstract: A device for skin-contact biological measurement includes one or more electrodes to enable signal transmission through a skin contact and a control mechanism coupled to the one or more electrodes to adjust an electrode-to-skin impedance (ESI). The control mechanism is configured to implement the ESI adjustment using a thermal actuator.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device includes a housing, and an electrode carrier attached to the housing and having a nonplanar surface. The wearable electronic device includes a set of electrodes, including electrodes positioned at different locations on the nonplanar surface. The wearable electronic device includes a sensor circuit and a switching circuit. The switching circuit is operable to electrically connect a number of different subsets of one or more electrodes in the set of electrodes to the sensor circuit.
