Abstract

Clinical evaluation of electroencephalogram (EEG) is important for understanding and monitoring the electrical activity present in the brain. In collusion with engineering advances, the movement towards portable, rapid and low-cost EEG monitoring is growing. This will allow a greater availability of monitoring technologies for assessing brain function and health in disadvantaged communities. This paper presents an alternative method for interpreting neonatal brain health in real-time via the sonification of EEG on a smartphone. The paper discusses the implementation of the real-time EEG sonification using a phase vocoder and shows how the method is achievable using low-cost smartphone technologies with energy efficient algorithms.
