Multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) are a widely used tool for recording neuronal activity both in vitro/ex vivo and in vivo experiments. In the last decade, researchers have increasingly used MEAs on rodents in vivo. To increase the availability and usability of MEAs, we have created an open-source wireless electrophysiological complex. The complex is scalable, recording the activity of neurons in the brain of rodents during their behavior. Schematic diagrams and a list of necessary components for the fabrication of a wireless electrophysiological complex, consisting of a base charging station and wireless wearable modules, are presented.

The intramuscular electromyography (EMG) measurement method for experimental animals has been implemented in various ways. Among these methods, tethering cables to external measurement devices can restrict the movement of experimental animals, while implantable devices may cause unwanted side effects due to the constant presence of a device with considerable size and weight. To address these issues, we propose a low-cost, wireless, detachable EMG measurement system and experimental procedure.

Electrophysiological (EP) signals are key biomarkers for monitoring mental fatigue (MF) and general health, but state-of-the-art wearable EP-based MF monitoring systems are bulky and require user-specific, labeled data. Ultrathin epidermal electrodes with high performance are ideal for constructing imperceptive EP sensing systems; however, the lack of a simple and scalable fabrication delays their application in MF recognition. Here, we report a facile, scalable printing-welding-transferring strategy (PWT) for printing μm-thickness micropatterned silver nanowires (AgNWs)/sticky polydimethylsiloxane, welding the AgNWs via plasmonic effect, and transferring the electrode to skin as tattoos.

When exposed to X-rays, scintillators emit visible luminescence. X-ray-mediated optogenetics employs scintillators for remotely activating light-sensitive proteins in biological tissue through X-ray irradiation. This approach offers advantages over traditional optogenetics, allowing for deeper tissue penetration and wireless control.

High-fidelity wireless electrophysiological monitoring is essential for ambulatory healthcare applications. Soft solid-like hydrogels have received significant attention as epidermal electrodes because of their tissue-like mechanical properties and high biocompatibility. However, it is challenging to develop a hydrogel electrode that provides robust contact and high adhesiveness with glabrous skin and hairy scalp for high-fidelity, continuous electrophysiological signal detection.

A precise recording of electrophysiological signals requires high-performance flexible bioelectrodes to build a robust skin interface. The past decade has witnessed encouraging progress in the development of elastomeric electrodes for wearable electrophysiological monitoring; however, it remains challenging to achieve excellent flexibility, conformal contact, and high durability simultaneously. Herein, we report on an effective method to fabricate flexible yet durable microneedle electrodes (MEs) based on vertically aligned gold nanowires (Au NWs) embedded polyimide (PI), which meet the above three design requirements.
