ArticleBody:Researchers from the University of Montreal have created a first-of-its-kind electrode-lined crochet beanie that can be used to measure a cat’s brain activity. Aside from being adorable, the custom-made wool caps also let researchers, for the first time, conduct EEG brain scans on felines without having to sedate them. These electrode-filled winter caps are already being used to help determine how cats experiencing chronic pain may respond when exposed to pleasant sounds and smells.
Exacerbated by having to constantly replace the wires, the researchers reportedly turned to this YouTube tutorial breaking down how to crochet a hat for the cat as inspiration. With the help of some graduate students and plenty of patience, the researchers eventually created custom-made wool caps and slipped the electrodes inside of them so that the cats could not see them. The researchers claim this marks the first known example of EEG recording in conscious cats. https://www.youtube.
