A Novel Bristle-Shaped Semi-Dry Electrode With Low Contact Impedance and Ease of Use Features for EEG Signal Measurements.

In this paper, we present a novel soft bristle-shaped semi-dry electrode for electroencephalography (EEG) recording. Because the bristle-shaped structure with electric conductivity could overcome the obstacle of hair and enable direct connection to scalp, the semi-dry electrode could work with drinking water instead of saline water that was widely used in previous semi-dry or water electrodes to improve its convenience. The electrode consisted of conductive bristles and a 3D-printed casing.
