Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a butterfly hinge electrode and uses thereof. A butterfly hinge electrode may have a first and second wing positioned adjacent to one another and connected through a coupling mechanism. The butterfly hinge electrode may have a first and second electrode assembly, the first electrode assembly positioned on the first wing and the second electrode assembly positioned on the second wing. The butterfly hinge electrode may further comprise a compression assembly. Further, the butterfly hinge electrode may be inserted into a subdermal layer of a patient for neurological monitoring through the use of the first and second electrode assemblies on the first and second wings.
