Problems solved by technology

CN105944228B discloses the use of liquid metal directly sprayed on the polymer substrate to package and manufacture nerve electrodes, but there are still many disadvantages. On the one hand, the precision of the liquid metal direct spray method cannot be accurately controlled, and the size of the nerve electrodes is large, which cannot guarantee the accuracy of EEG signals. Reliable measurement; on the other hand, in complex body fluid environments, liquid metal electrodes are prone to degradation or corrosion, and biocompatibility and chemical stability cannot be guaranteed

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nerve electrodes, in particular to a flexible and stretchable nerve electrode and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Brain-Machine / Computer Interface (BMI / BCI) refers to building a communication and control bridge between the brain and external electronic equipment, and realizing the connection between the human brain and the machine through the collection and decoding of neural electrophysiological signals. communication between. Brain-computer interface technology is not only of great significance for the diagnosis and mechanism research of cranial nerve diseases, but also has broad application prospects in emergency relief, industrial production and even military science. At present, the acquisition methods of EEG signals are mainly divided into two types: invasive and non-invasive. Compared with non-invasive acquisition methods such as scalp EEG, invasive signal acq...
