- *Abstract
-
Conventionally, none of the available technologies/systems for brain monitoring involve the use of multiple electrodes to measure both electric potentials and fields. Moreover, such technologies/systems are associated with various limitations such as the inability for miniaturization, high setup time, low signal-to-noise ratio, limited temporal resolution, and lack of direct measurement mechanisms. In addition, traditional devices require long connecting wires that makes their usage cumbersome. This invention relates to the development and use of a novel, neuro-dot sensor capable of measuring electric-field as well as electric potential on the human scalp, overcoming prior-art limitations and unmet needs.
