Scalp sensor for simultaneous acoustic emission detection and electroencephalography during transcranial ultrasound.

This study investigates the feasibility of using a novel scalp senor for acquiring concurrent AED and EEG during clinical transcranial ultrasound. A piezoelectric disk is embedded in plastic cup EEG electrode to form the sensor. The sensor is coupled to the head via an adhesive/conductive gel-dot. Components of the sensor prototype are tested for AED and EEG signal quality in a bench top investigation with a functional ex vivo skull phantom. PMID: 29968579 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
