Scientists have created a novel technology using electronic, temporary tattoos to measure brain waves. This method promises quicker and more convenient brain activity monitoring and neurological condition diagnosis, potentially outperforming traditional EEG tests which are time-consuming and cumbersome.
Scientists have developed a new technology that can measure brain waves using electronic, temporary tattoos.
However, this whole process is time-consuming and inconvenient, say the developers of the new technology. It generally takes around one to two hours to set up an EEG test, said co-developer Nanshu Lu, a professor of engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. The electrodes then need to be monitored about every two hours because the glue that attaches them to the scalp dries up, she told Live Science in an email.

They found that the e-tattoos were just as good at detecting brain waves as the conventional EEG electrodes that were placed next to them.
