Week 7 Update

This week has been extremely productive for us as we have gotten the mask in and started testing everything. We focused on the accelerometer first, Michael has finished the test program for the accelerometer while Alex and Julian made the wristband to hold the accelerometer. Julian has also downloaded the top rated accelerometer app on his iPhone in order to test both the accelerometer app and our device at the same time. In class we were able to test the to see if the amplifier worked, and to our surprise we found out that we didn't burn out the amplifier while building it. We were able to use an Oscilloscope to see the readings from test electrodes placed on Julian. In the coming week we are going to fabricate the mask and learn how to interface the electrodes with MATLAB in order to test the entire device at once.

The accelerometer wristband. 

An idea we were toying around with for the future. To attach the Data Acquisition Unit to the user with either its own wristband or with the accelerometer.
