They developed a liquid ink that doctors can print onto a patient’s scalp to measure brain activity. The post Scientists invent ‘hair-friendly’ solution for measuring brainwaves appeared first on Talker.

Scientists have developed a new technology that can measure brain waves using electronic, temporary tattoos. The researchers say the method could act as a quicker and more convenient way to monitor brain activity and diagnose neurological conditions,

EEG recordings used in neurology could be made simpler by replacing the usual electrodes, wires and gels with a tattoo printed onto the scalp

Recording the goings-on inside the human brain is no simple task, largely because there’s a skull in the way. Over the years, we’ve developed ways of capturing brain activity using electrodes, but a team of scientists just made a big leap forward by inventing a biocompatible liquid ink that can be used to print temporary “e-tattoo” sensors
