A team of researchers in bioelectronics from Mines Saint-Étienne has developed a new type of electroencephalogram electrodes using temporary tattoo technology.
Just as high-performing but much more comfortable than traditional electrodes, they allow for prolonged recordings of brain activity over several days.
For Esma Ismailova, Associate Professor at the Gardanne campus, this technology is a major step forward in both clinical research and patient care: “These new flexible, stretchable, and very thin electrodes are ergonomic, comfortable, almost imperceptible, and therefore much more acceptable for patients, especially children or the elderly, for whom certain examinations can be a source of stress.” Indeed, to perform an electroencephalogram, the patient usually has to wear a cap fastened under the chin, consisting of electrodes onto which the technician applies gel…
Congratulations to Esma Ismailova and the entire team!
