Pareto optimization for electrodes placement: compromises between electrophysiological and practical aspects

This study employed a secondary data set and simulations for the electrophysiological and practical aspects, respectively. Typically, there is no ideal solution that maximizes satisfaction degrees of multiple electrophysiological and practical aspects simultaneously; a compromise is the most appropriate approach. Instead of combining both aspects —which are independent of each other—into a single-objective optimization, we used multi-objective optimization to obtain a Pareto set, which contains predominant solutions. These solutions may facilitate the decision-makers to decide the preferred electrode locations based on application-specif ic criteria. Our proposed approach may aid manufacturers in making decisions regarding the placement of electrodes within smart shirts.Graphical abstract
