EEG Alpha Wave Detection Headband Kit – Build a Biofeedback Brainwave Monitor

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine wearing a lightweight headband that reads your brain’s electrical rhythms and tells you in real time whether you’re in a focused or relaxed state. This kit lets you build exactly that—a single‑channel EEG headband that extracts alpha band oscillations (8–12 Hz) from a forehead electrode. By amplifying and filtering microvolt‑level signals, the system distinguishes relaxed, meditative mental states from concentrated attention, giving you a tangible biofeedback tool.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a functional EEG acquisition system around an Arduino Nano. A dry electrode on the forehead captures brain activity, which is amplified by a two‑stage LM358 op‑amp front‑end and digitised through a 16‑bit ADS1115 ADC. The Nano processes the signal, isolates alpha power, and drives a 0.96‑inch OLED display that shows relaxation‑vs‑focus status. All data is timestamped via DS3231 RTC and stored on a microSD card for later analysis.

What You'll Learn

• Designing a low‑noise analog front‑end for microvolt bio‑potentials
• Active bandpass filtering (8–12 Hz) using LM358 op‑amps and passive components
• I²C communication with the ADS1115 16‑bit ADC and SSD1306 OLED
• Real‑time digital signal processing (RMS energy in alpha band) on Arduino

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This advanced kit is built for B.Tech ECE, Biomedical, or EEE students tackling capstone projects or participating in the Smart India Hackathon. It’s equally suited for researchers prototyping a low‑cost neurofeedback interface and hobbyists exploring brain‑computer interfaces. If you’ve ever wanted to measure your own alpha waves and understand the neural signature of relaxation, this is your starting point.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
