Fashion, Function, and Process: Prototyping an Adjustable Jean Jacket for Wearable EEG devices

This thesis explores the intersection of healthcare, disability, and fashion through the design of a jacket that can essentially hide an EEG when it is being worn. After reviewing literature from different fields including neuroscience, disability studies, and functional apparel design I propose a prototype for an adjustable denim jacket. The purpose of this research is to look at wearable technology in another light and take the social stigma away from people with disabilities who have to wear these devices by creating a product that can monitor brain activity effectively and to empower people with neurological disorders to feel more confident and comfortable.
