 Tattoo electrodes for neurology

Francesco Greco and his team at the Laboratory of Applied Materials for Printed and Soft electronics (LAMPSe) at the Institute of Solid State Physics have developed tattoo electrodes for brain signals recording in collaboration with Italian and French scientists. They use an inkjet printer to print electrodes on the type of tattoo paper that is normally used for temporary tattoos for children. The polymer film that is transferred to the skin is so thin that it conforms to the wrinkles of the skin and makes reliable electrical contact. These electrodes are not uncomfortable and are well suited for long term measurements.
