First Claim
1. A textile electrode device, comprising:
- a substrate, designed to be positioned on the skin of a subject;
at least a first detection electrode arranged on the substrate and configured to detect electrophysiological signals from the skin of the subject; and
at least a first conducting element, carried by the substrate and electrically connected to the first detection electrode,characterized in that the first detection electrode comprises a first plurality of textile fibres, of an electrically conductive material, arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to an upper surface of the substrate and reciprocally in contact with each other.

Abstract
A textile electrode device, for detection of electrophysiological signals from the skin of a subject, having: a substrate designed to be positioned on the skin; at least a first detection electrode arranged on the substrate; and at least a first conducting element, carried by the substrate and electrically connected to the first detection electrode. The first detection electrode has a plurality of textile fibres, including conductive fibres and, optionally, fibres of a super-absorbent material, arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to an upper surface of the substrate and reciprocally in contact with each other, so as to ensure uniform electrical contact over the entire first detection electrode. In particular, the first detection electrode is obtained by means of the flocking technique.
