3 Independent Claims

1. A dry EEG sensor, comprising at least one electrical contact for contacting the skin of a user, each electrical contact being connected to electrical circuitry to process any detected signals; wherein the at least one electrical contact is mounted in a flexible layer mounted on a part of a device in which the EEG sensor is mounted, wherein the flexible layer permits movement in all directions with the user's skin when the user's skin moves relative to the device, wherein the flexible layer supports the electrical contact to press the electrical contacts against the skin of the user, wherein the electrical contacts pass through the flexible layer and a void exists between the electrical contacts and the device.
13. A electroencephalography EEG sensor mounted in a set of headphones, comprising: a flexible layer which permits movement in all directions; and at least one elongate electrical contact for contacting the skin of a user, wherein the at least one electrical contacts are mounted in the flexible layer and the flexible layer provides support for the at least one electrical contacts, wherein in use the EEG sensor contacts a region of an ear of the user.
14. An EEG sensor mounted in a set of headphones, comprising at least one electrical contact for contacting the skin of an ear of a user; a resilient material positioned between the at least one electrical contact and part of a set of headphones in which the EEG sensor is mounted; and a low-friction material positioned between the at least one electrical contact and the resilient material.
