title: A new soft material based in-the-ear EEG recording technique.
abstract: Long-term electroencephalogram (EEG) is important for seizure detection, sleep monitoring and etc. In-the- ear EEG device makes such recording robust to noise and privacy protected (invisible to other people). However, the state-of-art techniques suffer from various drawbacks such as customization for specific users, manufacturing difficulties and short life cycle. To address these issues, we proposed silvered glass silicone based in-the-ear electrode which can be manufactured using conventional compression moulding. The material and in-the-ear EEG are evaluated separately, showing that the proposed method is durable, low-cost and easy-to-make.
