Embodiment 1

[0027] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings described in the specification, illustrations may be appropriately simplified in order to make the drawings easier to read, or the proportions and positions of parts of components may be different from those of actual specifications.

[0028] figure 1 It is a perspective view of the electroencephalogram electrode 1 of the first embodiment. figure 1 The shown +Y direction substantially coincides with the direction in which the electrode is in contact with the subject's scalp (hereinafter, this direction is referred to as an approximate contact direction).

[0029] The EEG electrode 1 has: a connection part 8 protruding in the -Y direction; a bottom 3 on which the electrode metal 2 and the connection part 8 are placed; a plurality of barb parts 4 from the bottom 3 on elongated in the +Y direction (approximate contact direction with respect to the subject);...

Embodiment 2

[0054] The EEG electrode 1 of Example 2 is characterized in that the ring-shaped wall 5 can be folded when pressed. Regarding the electroencephalogram electrode 1 of the present embodiment, points different from Embodiment 1 will be described below.

[0055] Figure 7A and 7B It is a perspective view showing the appearance of the electroencephalogram electrode 1 of this embodiment. like Figure 7A As shown, the annular wall 5 has a stepped shape (a shape including a plurality of steps). When the EEG electrode 1 is to be attached to the subject's head, the operator presses (presses) the electrode from the -Y direction to the +Y direction. A part of the step constituting the annular wall 5 is deformed by this pressing, thereby being folded. Figure 7B The folded shape is shown.

[0056] exist Figure 7B In the example of , the annular wall 5 is folded such that the uppermost step portion of the annular wall 5 is accommodated in the next upper step. When folding is perfor...

Embodiment 3

[0066] The EEG electrode 1 of Example 3 is characterized in that the annular wall 5 is made of sponge. Regarding the electroencephalogram electrode 1 of the present embodiment, points different from Embodiment 1 will be described below.

[0067] Figure 9 It is a perspective view showing the appearance of the electroencephalogram electrode 1 of this embodiment. The annular wall 5 is composed of a hollow columnar sponge having, for example, a thickness of about 5 mm (thickness from −X direction to +X direction) and a height of about 10 mm (height from −Y direction to +Y direction). In the embodiment, six barb members 4 are provided. In an embodiment, the barb member 4 elongates from the bottom 3 towards the +Y direction and at the same time towards the outside (in the direction approaching the annular wall 5 ). That is, the barb member 4 expands while forming an angle, and approaches the annular wall 5 as it moves in the +Y direction.

[0068] The barb member 4 may be made ...

Abstract

An electroencephalogram electrode includes: a bottom portion on which a connection member is placed, the connection member which is configured to supply a biological signal that is acquired from a subject through conductive gel, to an external apparatus; an annular wall which annularly extends from the bottom portion in a contact direction with respect to the subject; and a plurality of barb members which are disposed in a holding space for the conductive gel that is located inside the annular wall, and which elongate from the bottom portion in the contact direction with respect to the subject.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electroencephalogram electrode. Background technique [0002] An EEG is an electrical signal produced by human brain activity. The apparatus for measuring an electroencephalogram measures an electroencephalogram by using an electroencephalogram electrode attached to the scalp of a subject. The measured EEG varies depending on the location of the scalp. Therefore, a doctor or the like attaches an electroencephalogram electrode to a predetermined position of the scalp, and then measures the electroencephalogram. That is, in electroencephalogram measurement, it is necessary to attach a plurality of electroencephalogram electrodes to respective predetermined positions of the scalp. The International 10 / 20 system shows an example of electrode placement. [0003] Recently, it is expected that electroencephalography will be used not only for diagnosis in the field of brain function testing, but also in the field of emergency me...
