These therapies seek as far as possible to minimize or offset the consequences caused by these types of pathologies and disorders in the patient. Therefore, comprehensive neurological care has been performed by neurorehabilitation therapies, to improve the patients\u2019 life quality and facilitating their performance in society. One way to know how the neurorehabilitation therapies contribute to help patients is by measuring changes in their brain activity by means of electroencephalograms (EEG). EEG data-processing applications have been used in neuroscience research to be highly computing- and data-intensive. Our proposal is an integrated system of Electroencephalographic, Electrocardiographic, Bioacoustic, and Digital Image Acquisition Analysis to provide neuroscience experts with tools to estimate the efficiency of a great variety of therapies. The three main axes of this proposal are: parallel or distributed capture, filtering and adaptation of biomedical signals, and synchronization in real epochs of sampling. Thus, the present proposal underlies a general system, whose main objective is to be a wireless benchmark in the field. In this way, this proposal could acquire and give some analysis tools for biomedical signals used for measuring brain interactions when it is stimulated by an external system during therapies, for example. Therefore, this system supports extreme environmental conditions, when necessary, which broadens the spectrum of its applications. In addition, in this proposal sensors could be added or eliminated depending on the needs of the research, generating a wide range of configuration limited by the number of CPU cores, i.e., the more biosensors, the more CPU cores will be required. To validate the proposed integrated system, it is used in a Dolphin-Assisted Therapy in patients with Infantile Cerebral Palsy and Obsessive\u2013Compulsive Disorder, as well as with a neurotypical one. Event synchronization of sample periods helped isolate the same therapy stimulus and allowed it to be analyzed by tools such as the Power Spectrum or the Fractal Geometry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20236991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,7]],"date-time":"2020-12-07T21:37:42Z","timestamp":1607377062000},"page":"6991","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Biomedical Signal Acquisition Using Sensors under the Paradigm of Parallel Computing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4032-0511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas Jaime","family":"Moreno Escobar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica y El\u00e9ctrica, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07340, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3184-4869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oswaldo","family":"Morales Matamoros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica y El\u00e9ctrica, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07340, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4882-8096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo","family":"Tejeida Padilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Turismo, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07630, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liliana","family":"Chanona Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica y El\u00e9ctrica, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07340, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan Pablo Francisco","family":"Posadas Dur\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica y El\u00e9ctrica, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07340, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Karen","family":"P\u00e9rez Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica y El\u00e9ctrica, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07340, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2297-168X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ixchel","family":"Lina Reyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica y El\u00e9ctrica, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07340, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hugo","family":"Quintana Espinosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica y El\u00e9ctrica, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 07340, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Vashisht, M., and Bhatia, M.
