The Mobile Neurotechnologies group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT in Oldenburg has an answer to this question. The group is developing a discreet EEG sensor solution for mobile use. In a recently published study in the journal Sensors, the researchers show that the system delivers stable EEG data for at least 24 hours a day, both day and night.
Flexible electrode patch meets miniature amplifier
For the study, 10 participants were fitted with the flexible, eight-channel electrode patch “trEEGrid,” developed at Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg. Thanks to the pre-applied conductive material, the patented patch can be applied to the face just like a Band-Aid and, unlike dry electrode systems, does not exert any pressure on the head to ensure good signal quality.
