EEGs without the electrodes?Here's a link to an article in the Economist (September 8, 2007 issue). Robert Prance and his colleagues at the University of Sussex, England, have developed a way to do an electrocardiograph and EEG without skin contact. They've succeeded with a model worn like a wristwatch, and are working towards a model with no skin contact whatsoever -- a medic would just hold a probe close to the patient. Good news for parents of kids like my oldest son, whose sensory sensitivities made his sleep-deprived EEG impossible to carry through -- he couldn't relax and fall asleep with all that goo on him. Anyhow, here's the link: http://www.economist.com/printedition/displaystory.cfm?story _id=9719063 About time. We've needed an EEG for my son, but there is no way he would keep the electrodes(?) on his head. I hope it is available here soon.Thanks for the info. |
