Developing Simultaneous Brain Wave Measurement System in Human and Dog Communication

Abstract

This paper proposes a measurement system for simultaneous measuring brain waves of human and cenine. The system consists of a headset for human brain wave, a headset for dog brain wave and video camera. The headset for a dog brain wave measurement is specially developed by modifying human headset. The fabric cover attached with electrodes is fixed to a dog's head with Velcro. The ears of a dog can extend naturally from holes of the fabric cover, which made a longer time experiment possible. The proposed system does not need any cable: the measured signals are sent to a computer through Bluetooth, and the electric power is provided by battery. The experimental test is conducted with a police dog.
