Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Professional medical staff are required to apply conductive glue or conductive paste, which limits the application range of wet electrodes in households, games, etc.; in addition, it takes a long time to apply conductive glue or conductive paste;
[0005] 2. Conductive glue or conductive paste is prone to cracking or falling off after long-term use, resulting in interruption of measurement, and is not suitable for long-term use of EEG rehabilitation equipment;
[0006] 3. The test subjects are often covered with conductive glue or conductive paste. After the test, the test subjects need to wash their hair, which brings discomfort to the test subjects
In addition, the operator needs to clean the electrode stained with conductive glue after measurement, which brings some troubles to the operator;
[0007] 4. For high-density electrode measurement (64 leads and above), the number of electrodes is large, and it takes a long time to inject glue. If the operator is not careful, some electrodes will not be injected with glue, which needs to be checked and re-injected.
The existing technologies of these dry electrodes all use direct contact between solid electronic conductors and the skin, and have failed to establish ideal ion channels. This electrode-skin contact method will cause high electrode impedance, and it is not stable, which brings measurement Noisy and Unstable Signals
