The electroencephalogram (EEG) electrode is a critical component for diagnosing and understanding neurological phenomenon. We have designed an innovative new electrode which will augment and further expand the EEG electrode's current use with emerging technologies. Electrode placement on the scalp is currently problematic, time consuming, and labor intensive. The new disposable electrode fulfills the requirements of standard silver/silver chloride, and provides signal quality equivalent to collodion placed electrodes. However, this design uniquely provides the ability for quick placement without messy adhesives. The small size, high comfort level, and quick placement attributes make the device ideal for critical care and ambulatory and extended monitoring. The goals, up through Phase III, are to design, prototype, validate, market, manufacture, and commercialize this novel electrode. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The new electrode is a convenient alternative for hospitals and physicians' offices when quick and easy placement is optimal for diagnosis and treatment. It provides an added dimension to emergency care and sleep research. Such an electrode could be used for daily wear applications such as seizure activity warning systems or long-term EEG monitors. The easy placement design supports the development of "awareness monitors" designed for pilots, truck drivers, and railroad engineers.

脑电图（EEG）电极是诊断和理解神经系统现象的关键成分。我们设计了一种创新的新电极，该电极将增强并进一步扩展EEG电极与新兴技术的当前使用。头皮上的电极放置目前是有问题的，耗时的，并且劳动量很大。新的一次性电极满足了标准银/氯化银的要求，并提供了相当于折叠电极的信号质量。但是，这种设计独特地提供了快速放置的能力，而无需混乱的粘合剂。小尺寸，高舒适度和快速放置属性使该设备非常适合重症监护以及卧床和扩展监控。到达第三阶段的目标是设计，原型，验证，市场，制造和商业化这种新型电极。拟议的商业应用：新电极是医院和医师办公室的便捷替代方案，当快速，轻松地放置最适合诊断和治疗。它为紧急护理和睡眠研究提供了一个额外的维度。这样的电极可用于日常磨损应用，例如癫痫发作警告系统或长期脑电图监测器。简单的位置设计支持为飞行员，卡车司机和铁路工程师设计的“意识监视器”的开发。
