1. A device for recording brain activity of a subject, comprising:
i) a first arm shaped to extend along a subject's head, the first arm having a first pair of rails along a first length of the first arm, wherein the first pair of rails borders a first aperture that allows access to the subject's head, and the first pair of rails has grooves along interior edges facing the first aperture;
ii) an electrode assembly that has multi-directional adjustability in orientation, the electrode assembly comprising:
a shell with tabs protruding from opposite sides of an outer surface of the shell, the tabs being rotatable with respect to the shell;
a sleeve inside the shell, the sleeve having a clearance between the sleeve and the shell to allow angular tilting of the sleeve within the shell;
an elastic element attaching a first end of the sleeve to an interior end of the shell; and
an electroencephalography (EEG) electrode removably inserted into the sleeve, with a contact surface of the EEG electrode facing the subject's head;
wherein the electrode assembly is mounted in the first arm, with the tabs slidably seated in the grooves of the first pair of rails;
iii) a housing having a bottom surface facing the subject's head, wherein the housing contains an energy source and electronic circuitry for the electrode assembly; and
iv) a second arm removably coupled to the housing, the second arm extending along the subject's head;
wherein the first arm is removably coupled to the housing and extends along the subject's head in a direction different than the second arm.
