Methods and mechanisms for quick-placement electroencephalogram (eeg) electrodes

摘要

This invention provides a quick-placement EEG electrode. The EEG electrode is fixed to a patient's scalp by a first element working in conjunction with a second element 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 for easy removal of the EEG electrode from the patient's scalp.
