Electrode array system for measuring electrophysiological signals
First Claim
1. A method of positioning electrodes in an electrode array comprising only two electrodes for monitoring electroencephalographic signals, said method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a first electrode of said two electrodes on the forehead of a subject from whom the electroencephalographic signals are to be monitored;
positioning a second electrode of said two electrodes on a first temple of said subject at eye level anterior to an ear of said subject.

Abstract
An array of electrodes is constructed to allow the user to easily adjust to the correct size of the patient'"'"'s head. The array is self-adhesive, pre-gelled and disposable. The array fits easily over the temple and forehead areas where EEG signals can be acquired by specially designed monitors for purposes of monitoring a number of bodily phenomena, including but not limited to, depth of anesthesia, and/or ischemia, and burst suppression. The array is connected to the monitor via a tab connector that is integral to the disposable device. The tab connector is insertible into a reusable connector that is part of a monitoring system.
