The MOVE system: Going wireless has never been simpler!
by Pierluigi Castellone
engineering
The MOVE wireless system is a solution that replaces the
existing cables connecting the electrodes and amplifier with
wireless-based communication. This solution allows the
subject to move freely and makes it ver y suitable for use with
a Brain Computer Interface (BCI), neurofeedback and motor
learning.
Paradigms which cannot be used with standard cabled EEG
systems can now be incorporated into day-to-day research,
and normal experiments will become more convenient for the
par ticipants.
The transmitter amplifies and digitizes the incoming raw
analogue signal and sends it to the receiver, where the digital
data is conver ted back to analogue. Since the amplification
factor of the overall system is 1:1, the existing EEG amplifier
receives exactly the same data as previously. If the data is
not received properly, the receiver unit will send a T TL pulse
marker to the amplifier. A fur ther marker is sent when stable
and reliable data reception resumes. This feature is extremely
useful during the data analysis stage; in the unlikely event of
the wireless connection being interrupted during the recording,
a user can still determine exactly when the problem occurred.
With the MOVE system, there is no risk of damaging the
transmitter when the cap is being cleaned. Unlike some of the
wireless systems already on the market, the transmitter is not
integrated into the cap. Therefore you will not need to change
your cap-cleaning routine: simply disconnect the transmitter
and clean the cap the way you always have!
Each MOVE system is capable of handling 64 channels.
However, up to 5 units can be used in the same location.
Please note:
The MOVE system is intended to be used for research applications only and is
not sold, designed or intended to be used as a medical device as defined in EU
MOVE Receiver and MOVE Transmitter
Directive 93/42/EEC, nor is it intended to be used for other medical applications
such as diagnosis or treatment of disease. Brain Products shall not be liable
The small, lightweight transmitter box and receiver can be used
with vir tually any existing amplifier/electrode combination.

for any use other than pure scientific and research applications. The MOVE
hardware has been tested and certified as per the relevant EMC and electrical
safety standards. A non-medical CE certificate is available on request.
