1. A quick placement electrode for attachment to a patient'"'"'s scalp, comprising:
- a cap having a central cavity; and
a grabbing element, the grabbing element extending through the central cavity and capable of vertical movement within the central cavity between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein downward pressure of the cap onto the grabbing element causes the grabbing element to bind hairs within the grabbing element, the electrode being held in place by a force one the bound hairs created by the grabbing element.

Abstract
This invention provides a quick-placement EEG electrode. The EEG electrode is fixed to a patient'"'"'s scalp by a first element working in conjunction with a second element to trap hair and hold the EEG electrode in place. The EEG electrode contains a sponge that when compressed, dispenses electrolytic gel, acts as a shock absorber, and maintains contact with the scalp. The EEG electrode has a quick release mechanism for easy removal of the EEG electrode from the patient'"'"'s scalp.
