Loop Fabric EEG Textrode for Brain Activity Monitoring

Abstract Recently, metallic dry EEG electrodes have been introduced to overcome the limitation of wet electrodes, as conductive gel used causes skin irritation and dries out over time. However, metal a high weight stiff structure that limits them from wearable application. In this work, we developed textile-based electrode (textrode) silver-plated polyamide loop fabric washable up 100 cycles. The new textrode collects quality signals comparable commercial Ag/AgCl electrodes. were detected at all major bandwidths. addition, textrodes showed lower skin-to-electrode impedance (-19.23%) than higher signal-to-noise ratio (+27.4%). Therefore, these novel can be monitor brain activity for applications, especially when long-term monitoring is required.
