Abstract
An electrode and a method for measuring bio-electric waves are provided in which the electrode comprises a support member, a piece of absorbent fiber projecting from the support member and a non-corrosive lead coupled to the piece of absorbent fiber. Improved electrical contact between the electrode and the subject'"'"'s skin is provided by allowing the piece of absorbent fiber to absorb an electrically conductive fluid.
