Viewpoint: Next-Generation Sensor Technologies for Studying Mental Health

Sensors of all kinds continue to be further refined and developed for a wide range of applications, including in the biomedical domain. Sensors are routinely used for vital sign tracking and motion. However, more work is needed to further enhance research efforts in the study of mental health. This letter highlights this area of bioelectronics and biosensing to encourage researchers to improve capabilities in electrochemical sensing-a gap area, to enable synchronous monitoring of brain activity and behavior, leading to new insights into brain circuit function and improving closed-loop therapies.
