Miniaturized electroencephalographic scalp electrode for optimal wearing comfort

Introduction: Modern EEG electrode setups permit efficient recordings, but are often bulky and uncomfortable for subjects. Here we introduce a novel type of EEG electrode, which is designed for an optimal wearing comfort. The electrode is referred to as C-electrode where „C“ stands for comfort. Methods: The C-electrode does not require any holder/cap for fixation on the head nor does it use traditional pads/lining of disposable electrodes – thus, it does not disturb subjects. Fixation of the C-electrode on the scalp is based entirely on the adhesive interaction between the very light C-electrode/wire constructio…
