Abstract. With the recent advances in the field of electroencephalography (EEG), researchers have been able to detect and predict cognitive states and patterns based on electromagnetic signals emitted by the brain with greater precision than ever before. EEG has become a viable means of implementing brain-computer-interfaces (BCIs), which translate brain signals into machine commands. We have developed a system with reconfigurable hardware and open architecture component based software to enable multi-sensor physiological signal monitoring. The goal of this research is to study the feasibility of using the system that can facilitate monitoring of visual attention EEG brain signal.
