Description
EEG electrode with multiple pogo pins The present invention relates to a dry electrode for collecting reliable EEG data using a plurality of Pogo Pins. In particular, a multi-electrode structure utilizing Pogo Pins is designed to reduce user inconvenience and enable the collection of reliable EEG signals. This electrode system can be applied in various environments, such as hospitals, research facilities, and homes. Conventional EEG measurement devices used wet electrodes to improve contact between the electrode and the skin through a gel. However, these wet electrodes were complex to prepare for use, the process of applying the gel was cumbersome, and the uncomfortable fit limited long-term use. Signal quality could degrade as the gel dried, and removing the gel after measurement was also inconvenient, degrading the user experience. Conventional dry electrodes have high contact resistance and cause discomfort due to skin pressure. To solve these problems, the present invention aims to provide convenient and reliable EEG measurement by using a dry electrode utilizing multiple Pogo Pins. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram schematically showing the structure of a dry EEG electrode using a plurality of Pogo Pins according to an embodiment of the present invention. The advantages and/or features of the present invention and the methods for achieving them will become clear by referring to the embodiments described below in detail together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below but may be implemented in various different forms. These embodiments are provided merely to ensure that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram schematically showing the structure of a dry EEG electrode using a plurality of Pogo Pins according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the Pogo Pin dry EEG electrode is a dry electrode that collects EEG data using multiple Pogo Pins, and each electrode has a spring structure that provides constant pressure to the skin, thereby minimizing contact resistance and maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A high SNR increases signal accuracy and improves the reliability of measurement results. The dry electrode utilizing the aforementioned multiple Pogo Pins can be easily attached to the skin without the need for gel and provides comfort even during prolonged use. The absence of gel offers the additional advantages of a simple preparation process and the elimination of cleaning requirements. Furthermore, the spring structure of the Pogo Pins maintains consistent contact with the skin, enabling reliable data collection. The gold-plated Pogo Pins reduce skin irritation and minimize side effects during long-term measurements, making it suitable for various usage scenarios, including self-monitoring at home, diagnosis in clinical settings, and application in research environments.
