  • Universal EEG cap with carbon fiber-based conductive silicone sponge electrodes and fabric-printed electrode-connecting wires
    Patent number: 12714348
    Abstract: An improved electroencephalogram (EEG) cap. In one embodiment, the EEG cap comprises a head covering comprising auxetic fabric, wherein the auxetic fabric allows the head covering to fit on and conform to a head, wherein the head is any shape and size; one or more electrodes disposed on an internal surface of the head covering, wherein each of the one or more electrodes comprise a conductive sponge comprising a two-part silicone foam, a silicone thinning fluid, and carbon fiber, and a sponge seat comprising a silicone or thermoplastic elastomer material, wherein the conductive sponge is disposed within the sponge seat; and one or more wires printedly embedded in the head covering that connect the one or more electrodes to external electronics.
