1. A method for monitoring of brain activity comprising:
activating and positioning a plurality of wearable sensors configured to detect electroencephalogram (EEG) signals indicative of a brain activity of a user and positioned in a plurality of locations on a scalp of the user, each wearable sensor comprising at least two electrodes configured to monitor the EEG signals when the wearable sensor is positioned on the scalp of the user and an electronic circuitry configured to process the EEG signals monitored by the at least two electrodes and wirelessly transmit processed EEG signals to a first portable computing device, the activating comprising following instructions displayed on a display of the first portable computing device; and
subsequent to activating the plurality of wearable sensors, transferring control of the plurality of wearable sensors to a second portable computing device configured to be worn by the user to permit the second portable computing device to wirelessly receive the processed EEG signals, the second portable computing device not including a display or including a display that is smaller than the display of the first portable computing device,
wherein transferring control causes the first portable computing device to cease receiving and communicating the processed EEG signals from the plurality of wearable sensors to one or more remote computing devices, thereby handing off control from the first portable computing device to the second portable computing device,
wherein the first portable computing device is configured to facilitate activating and positioning the plurality of wearable sensors on the scalp of the user, and
wherein the second portable computing device is not any of the plurality of wearable sensors, and the second portable computing device is configured to communicate with the one or more remote computing devices to facilitate monitoring of the brain activity of the user using the processed EEG signals and detecting one or more disorders indicated by the brain activity.
