Conformable Wearable Electrodes: From Fabrication to Electrophysiological Assessment

4.9K
Two recent technologies-tattoo and textiles-have demonstrated promising results in cutaneous sensing. Here, we present the fabrication and evaluation methods of tattoo and textile electrodes for cutaneous electrophysiological sensing. These electronic interfaces made of conductive polymers outperform the existing standards in terms of comfort and sensitivity.

Brain Mapping Using a Graphene Electrode Array

2.3K
We present a graphene array-based brain mapping procedure to reduce the invasiveness and improve spatiotemporal resolution. Graphene array-based surface electrodes exhibit long-term biocompatibility, mechanical flexibility, and suitability for brain mapping in a convoluted brain. This protocol allows for constructing multiple forms of sensory maps simultaneously and...

Injection of Hydrogel Biomaterial Scaffolds to The Brain After Stroke

5.8K
Stroke is a global issue with minimal treatment options and no current clinical therapy for regenerating the lost brain tissue. Here we describe methods for creating precise photothrombotic stroke in the motor cortex of rodents and subsequent injection of hydrogel biomaterials to study their effects on tissue regeneration after...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Conventional subdural electrodes often cause brain tissue damage and imaging artifacts.
  • There is a need for soft, conformable electrodes for high-fidelity electrocorticography (ECoG) and simultaneous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a totally soft, organic subdural electrode for improved ECoG monitoring.
  • To evaluate the performance of the new electrode in various conditions, including in vivo animal models.
  • To assess the suitability of the electrode for simultaneous ECoG-fMRI measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Embedding poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-modified carbon fabric (PEDOT-CF) into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel substrate.
  • Evaluating electrode performance in saline, ex vivo brains, and in vivo using rats and porcines.
  • Assessing impedance, conformability, and ECoG-fMRI compatibility.

Main Results:

  • The PEDOT-CF/PVA hydrogel electrode demonstrated stable structural integration and low impedance at brain wave frequencies.
  • The hydrogel substrate minimized contact impedance, and the electrode's conformability ensured tight adhesion to curved brain surfaces.
  • Simultaneous ECoG-fMRI measurements were conducted without image artifacts, unlike conventional metallic electrodes.

Conclusions:

  • A novel, fully soft organic subdural electrode was successfully developed.
  • The electrode offers superior conformability, low impedance, and artifact-free simultaneous ECoG-fMRI capabilities.
  • This technology holds promise for advanced neurophysiological monitoring and brain imaging.
