1. A portable wearable eye movement monitoring system comprising:
a sensor electrode array configured to be attached substantially about each of a plurality of predetermined positions on a face of a user,
a logging unit, and
a battery power source,
the sensor electrode array, when worn, is to be positioned laterally about the face of the user with respect to the eyes of the user, whereby the portable wearable eye movement monitoring system is substantially outside a field of vision of the user, the sensor electrode array being configured to obtain data on eye movements of the user,
the logging unit being configured to communicate with the sensor electrode array to receive the obtained data and record the data in a data store,
the battery power source being configured to power the wearable monitoring system for a plurality of days whereby data on eye movements of the subject is captured substantially continuously for said plurality of days,
the sensor electrode array comprising a plurality of electrodes being divided between a first mount and a second mount, the first and second mounts being configured to position the electrodes at or about predetermined positions on the face of the user when worn,
the first and second mounts being independently placeable on the face of the user and configured to position their respective electrodes on opposite sides of the face of the user when worn, and
a connector configured to electrically connect the electrodes of the first mount to the logging unit, the connector being configured to pass around a rear of a head of the user when worn by the user.
