Week 4 Update


The group has gotten a variety of things done this week, yet we are still somewhat behind where we really wanted to be by now. The circuit itself is just about finished, we are still waiting on the EOG sensors that were ordered a little over a week ago. Without the sensors we aren’t going to be able to test as much as we would like to. Although, the accelerometer is somewhat interfaced with Matlab so we can begin testing with the accelerometer. All of the group members at this time are actively learning how to use Matlab, since only one of us knows how to use it right now. We are also talking about how much data we actually want to collect. An idea that is floating around right now is to not collect data from the accelerometer while the person is in REM sleep in order to organize data more efficiently. All of the group members have been conducting active research on the topic that they were assigned such as what will affect sleep habits, and why will this product be better than existing solutions.

We have added Frequently Asked Questions to its own tab, both required questions and questions that we have been getting asked from everyone we've explained our project to. We have also updated our project proposal to reflect our most recent revision of it.
