1. An electrode for use in measuring bio-electric events comprising, in combination:
- a pliant patch of foraminated material;
a quantity sufficient to measure bioelectric events of metal salt impregnating said patch of material;
a connector having a surface formed of the metal of said metal salt in contact with said quantity of salt; and
a quantity of adhesive covering one side of said patch adapted to be placed upon the skin.

Abstract
An electrolyte for a bio-electric event measuring electrode combines a salt with adhesive. The adhesive serves as the vehicle for dispersing solvent to form the electrolyte in a solid or semi-solid mixture. The adhesive serves further as a structural element in holding the parts of a practical electrode together and in making the electrode adhere to a subject'"'"'s skin.
Such an electrolyte is combined with a mesh or otherwise foraminated patch of pliant material and a connector to form what can be an inexpensive, effective electrode having long shelf life, low irritation, and low electrical resistivity.
