1. A pair of spectacles provided with bio-sensors for detecting signals in contact with a user's head, the spectacles comprising a front frame (2) for supporting respective lenses (4) and a nose support device (8) which is provided on the frame, the nose support device comprising a mount (9), which is produced from an electrically non-conductive material and which can be connected in a removable manner to the frame (2), the mount comprising thereon a first and a second nose support element (10, 11) which are opposite each other and which incorporate a first nose sensor and second nose sensor (10a, 11a) which are formed from an electrically conductive material and which are capable of surface contact with corresponding laterally opposite zones of the nose, each of the first and second nose support elements (10, 11) is mounted on a respective support (13) of an electrically conductive material, which is connected to the mount (9) by a respective screw typo element (13a) of a conductive material which is capable of electrical contact with the support (13), each screw element (13a) is capable of electrical contact with an electric circuit (19) which is provided in the frame (2) for transferring the electrical signals detected by the corresponding sensors (10a, 11a), the circuit (19) being interposed between the frame (2) and the mount (9), so that the electrical signals are transferred from the respective sensor (10a, 11a) to the electric circuit (19), via the respective screw element (13a) which is capable of closing the electrical contact between the corresponding sensor and the electric circuit, wherein each of the supports (13) comprises in an end portion (15) region thereof a first through-hole (16) for engaging in a recess (17) which is formed in the mount (9), the electrical contact between each screw element (13a) and the corresponding support (13) being brought about between an internal surface of the first through-hole (16) and an external surface of the screw element (13a) which engages with the first through-hole, and wherein the screw element is capable of electrical contact by means of a free end thereof opposite a head of the screw element, with the electric circuit (19).
