Electroencephalography (EEG) can be used as anindicator of fatigue. Several studies have shown thatslow wave brain activities, delta (0-4 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz), increase as an individual becomes fatigued,while the fast brain activities, alpha (8-13 Hz) and beta(13-35 Hz), decrease. However, an EEG is a complexpiece of equipment that is generally used in laboratorybased studies. In order to develop a fatiguecountermeasure device for train drivers using EEG,there is a need for a simple and wireless EEG monitor.This paper explains the development of a singlechannel wireless EEG device
