The standard electroencephalography (EEG) tests are a cumbersome process. Patients must sit still for hours, their heads covered in wires and sticky electrodes. But now, scientists have advanced brain ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printable electrode that looks like a single strand of human hair and measures brain activity more reliably than the current method used to diagnose things like ...

Snugged up against the scalp, electrodes can eavesdrop on the brain’s electrical activity. But the signals can weaken when electrodes can’t get close enough to the scalps of people with coarse, curly ...

Researchers have created a hairlike device for long-term, non-invasive monitoring of the brain's electrical activity. The lightweight and flexible electrode attaches directly to the scalp and delivers ...

European engineers have optimized a novel technology using temporary tattoo electrodes to record electroencephalography (EEG) brain activity. The technology is cheap, can be produced using an inkjet ...

The future of electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring may soon look like a strand of hair. In place of the traditional metal electrodes, a web of wires and sticky adhesives, a team of researchers from ...

Wearable medical devices are an important part of the future of medicine and a key focus of researchers around the world. They open the door for long-term continuous monitoring of patients outside of ...

Austrian scientists have developed wafer-thin tattoo electrodes that can record brain activity. These "tattoos" are dry electrodes, and unlike typical ones, they don't require a gel medium to function ...

Although clinicians using needle electrodes for sick term infants reported minimal evidence of discomfort [12] and negligible infection rate for long-term application, [46] in vulnerable preterm ...
