EarXplore: An Open Research Database on Earable Interaction
Jonas Hummel, Tobias Röddiger, Valeria Zitz +6
Interaction with sensor-augmented earphones, referred to as earables or hearables, represents a major area of earable research. Proximate to the head and reachable by hand, earable…
Feasibility of In-Ear Single-Channel ExG for Wearable Sleep Monitoring in Real-World Settings
Philipp Lepold, Jonas Leichtle, Tobias Röddiger +1
Automatic sleep staging typically relies on gold-standard EEG setups, which are accurate but obtrusive and impractical for everyday use outside sleep laboratories. This limits appl…
HARNode: A Time-Synchronised, Open-Source, Multi-Device, Wearable System for Ad Hoc Field Studies
Philipp Lepold, Tobias Röddiger, Michael Beigl
Human activity recognition (HAR) research often lacks accessible, comprehensive field data. Commercial systems are rarely open source, hard to expand, and limited by issues like no…
Haptic Biofeedback for Wakeful Rest: Does Stimulation Location Make a Difference?
Jueun Lee, Martin Flipe, Philipp Lepold +2
Wearable haptic interventions offer promising support for relaxation through slow, vibrotactile biofeedback. Despite their potential, current applications focus on stress-inducing…
earEOG via Periauricular Electrodes to Facilitate Eye Tracking in a Natural Headphone Form Factor
Tobias King, Michael Knierim, Philipp Lepold +4
Eye tracking technology is frequently utilized to diagnose eye and neurological disorders, assess sleep and fatigue, study human visual perception, and enable novel gaze-based inte…
OpenEarable ExG: Open-Source Hardware for Ear-Based Biopotential Sensing Applications
Philipp Lepold, Tobias Röddiger, Tobias King +3
While traditional earphones primarily offer private audio spaces, so-called "earables" emerged to offer a variety of sensing capabilities. Pioneering platforms like OpenEarable hav…
