AttentivU Glasses with Printed Frames

AttentivU is a compact wearable, in the form of a pair of glasses, which measures brain activity from neuronal activations on the scalp (electroencephalography or EEG) and corneo-retinal standing potentials (electrooculography or EOG). With well-being as its focus, AttentivU guides users to healthier states of mind while prioritizing privacy. The research project is led by Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna out of the MIT Media Lab Fluid Interfaces group.

With the data that is collected by the headset, different cognitive processes are calculated in real-time including cognitive load, fatigue, engagement, and focus. Paired with an informative mobile application, AttentivU gives users comprehensive insights into their mental welfare and stages interventions when a detrimental state is detected. If someone loses attention while driving, AttentivU can provide haptic stimulation to guide them back to focus.

As part of the AttentivU team, I’ve worked on embedded hardware design and data science/machine learning frameworks. I designed and tested a new logic board for the platform with an 8-channel delta-sigma ADC for biopotential measurements, inertial measurement unit, and transceiver for wireless communications.
