  • Quick-placement electroencephalogram (EEG) electrode
    Patent number: 6201982
    Abstract: This invention provides a quick-placement EEG electrode. The EEG electrode is fixed to a patient's head by a first element or fixed section and a second element or movable section that operates in conjunction with the fixed section to trap hair and hold the EEG electrode in place. The EEG electrode contains a sponge that when compressed, dispenses electrolytic gel, acts as a shock absorber, and maintains contact with the scalp. The EEG electrode has a quick release mechanism with a break-away ring and locking groove for easy removal of the EEG electrode from the patient's scalp.
