DRY ELECTRODES FOR ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying stimulus material presented to a user;
obtaining neuro-response data from a plurality of electroencephalography (EEG) dry electrodes placed on the scalp of the user, each of the plurality of EEG dry electrodes having a plurality of contacts, wherein a first plurality of EEG dry electrodes are included in a first housing and a second plurality of EEG dry electrodes are included in a second housing, the first plurality of EEG dry electrodes having a first plurality of contacts and the second plurality of EEG dry electrodes having a second plurality of contacts;
disregarding a plurality of signals from the first plurality of contacts;
aggregating remaining signals from the first plurality of contacts and provided an aggregated signal from the first housing to a data analyzer for analysis.

Abstract
An electroencephalography (EEG) system includes a dry electrode design having a jagged, angular, comb, etc. shaped support housing. Each dry electrode housing includes multiple electrodes where each electrode has multiple contacts for scalp placement with minimal interference from hair. Signals from individual contacts may be disregarded and each housing may provide one or more aggregated signals for data analysis. Each electrode may be placed in close proximity with neighboring electrodes as no conductive gel is required and may be attached to the scalp using straps, elastic cap, spring-type materials, tape, etc. The dry electrode design effectively measures bio-signals including neurological activity.
