Wearable ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) device is a wireless EEG system to daily real-time monitoring. It is developed rapidly and widely applied because of its portability, real-time performance, non-invasiveness, and low-cost advantages. This system is mainly composed of hardware parts such as signal acquisition module, signal processing module, micro-control module, communication module and power supply module, and software parts such as mobile terminal module and cloud storage module. The key technologies of wearable EEG devices were discussed. First, the improvement of EEG signal acquisition module was explained. In addition, the comparisons of wearable EEG device signal preprocessing module, signal noise reduction, artifact processing and feature extraction technology were performed. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of machine learning and deep learning classification algorithms were analyzed, and the application fields of wearable EEG device were summarized. Finally, future development trends of the key technologies of wearable EEG device were proposed.
