Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) Because the height of the silicone cap is too high, the subject is uncomfortable to wear during sleep EEG monitoring, so it is not suitable for sleep or long-term EEG measurement;
[0005] (2) Due to the high height of the silicone cap, there may be cases where the silicone cap does not fit the scalp, resulting in inconsistent impedance at each point of the electrode cap, which affects the measurement accuracy;
[0006] (3) Since the injection hole of the silicone cap and the electrode sheet is very small, it is inconvenient to pretreat the skin and inject the electrode. At the same time, it is also inconvenient to observe the contact between the electrode and the conductive adhesive and the contact between the conductive adhesive and the skin. Long preparation time, especially for high-density EEG measurements
[0007] At present, there is also a detachable electrode cap design, which generally consists of a fixed ring and a detachable electrode head. The advantage of this design is that the position and number of electrodes can be adjusted according to the measurement needs. However, due to the use of two Partial design, which limits the design space for the entire electrode height
In addition, after repeated disassembly and installation, the fixing of the electrode head and the fixing ring and the surrounding cap body will become loose, which will affect the service life of the electrode cap
In addition, NMR and MEG measurements require EEG electrodes to be light and thin. The products in the prior art make the subjects uncomfortable to wear, and the electrodes do not fit well with the skin.

Embodiment 1

[0042] Example 1: is a basic embodiment of the present invention. like Figure 1-10As shown, an EEG electrode cap includes a cap body 1, an electrode 3 installed on the cap body 1, and a lead wire 4; the electrode 3 includes a fixing ring 3.1, an electrode sheet 3.2 and a bonding sealant 3.4 In the middle part of the fixed ring 3.1, there is a cavity with two ends open and communicated. There is an electrode positioning platform 3.13 in the cavity, and the electrode sheet 3.2 is placed on the electrode positioning platform 3.13; one side of the electrode sheet 3.2 is sealed by bonding The agent 3.4 is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity of the fixed ring 3.1, and the other side is combined with the conductive adhesive 3.3 in the conductive adhesive chamber 3.12 of the cavity of the fixed ring 3.1; after the adhesive sealant 3.4 is cured, there is a connection with the conductive adhesive chamber 3.12 Inject conductive glue hole 3.111; there is a fixed groove 3.11 on the o...

Embodiment 2

[0043] Example 2: It is a further embodiment on the basis of embodiment 1. The lead wire 4 is welded on the electrode sheet 3.2, and the welding point or the welding surface is sealed with an adhesive sealant 3.4. The inner wall of the cavity of the fixing ring 3.1 has an adhesive sealant groove 3.16 for reinforcing and sealing, that is, the groove is filled with adhesive sealant, so that the electrode sheet 3.2 can be fixed more firmly. The height of the fixed ring 3.1 is less than 8mm; the adhesive sealant 3.4 is epoxy resin, or polysulfide rubber sealant, or polyurethane sealing adhesive, or silicon rubber type elastic sealant. The epoxy resin may be, but not limited to, one or more combinations of thermal curing epoxy resin and light curing epoxy resin.

Embodiment 3

[0044] Example 3: The difference from embodiment 2 is that the height of the fixing ring 3.1 is less than 5.5mm.
