Description

A kind of flexible contact electrode for encephalograms and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to electrophysiologicalsignal signal detection technical fields, and in particular to a kind of electrode for encephalograms and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Brain wave(Electroencephalogram, EEG)Signal is by cerebral cortex or scalp surface neuronal cell The synthesis for the electrical potential information that body physiological activity generates, includes the abundant rhythm and pace of moving things information [1] of brain, can be widely applied to cerebral disease Diagnosis, rehabilitation, brain-computer interface(BCI), the fields such as fatigue detecting.It is considered as detection epileptic attack, psychological non-epilepsy hair Make, migraine, the main method [2] of the diseases such as encephalopathy, while being also the important evidence of sleeping disorders diagnosis.However EEG signals Amplitude is generally less than 100 μ V [3], therefore the capture of EEG signals proposes very electrode for encephalograms itself and rear class modulate circuit High requirement.Wherein, rear class modulate circuit technology has tended to be ripe.In comparison, due to the electrology characteristic of electrode complexity, with And the particular/special requirement of acquiring biological electric signals, the research of electrode for encephalograms are in the ascendant.
In the prior art, electrode for encephalograms can be divided into wet type electrode and dry-type electrode two major classes.Wet type electrode refers to needing Coordinate the electrode that conductive paste uses.Conductive paste operation is smeared by the Skin sensitization test of early period and in acquisition position so that Electrode forms a metal-electrolysis bath interface with human skin surface, and the ultra-high resistance to reduce skin is anti-to obtain high noise The signal of ratio.Existing wet type electrode is with golden cup electrode(Gold Cup Electrode)[4] and Ag/AgCl electrodes [5] are generation Table.Golden cup electrode is that electroplating gold metal is prepared on the basis of fine silver electrode, overcomes what fine silver electrode used for a long time Problem of oxidation.In use, needing to be attached golden cup electrode and skin using conductive paste, waiting comes into full contact with and signal is steady The acquisition of signal is carried out after fixed.Its normal electrode as EEG signal acquisition, it is conductive can excellent, signal stabilization, letter The advantages that number signal-to-noise ratio is high.But the coating of conductive paste needs are completed with the help of medical staff using a large amount of time, and And prolonged acquisition will lead to the discomfort of subject, and allergy redness will be caused to react when serious.In addition, clear after experiment It washes also very troublesome.For Ag/AgCl electrodes, since its preparation is convenient, cheap, and with electric signal baseline stability, The electronics feature such as strong antijamming capability, thus be widely used by industry.But because there is dehydration in the Signa Gel in electrode Dry phenomenon, thus long-time use when its electrical characteristics can change, in high-precision experiment will introduce compared with Big noise and error.
In order to solve the problems, such as that wet type electrode exists, various researchs, which are devoted to research and development, need not use conductive paste, conduction The dry-type electrode of gel.Dry-type electrode is very suitable for applying due to not needing Skin sensitization test and smearing the operations such as conductive paste In fields such as future health monitoring, rehabilitation, disease treatment and brain-computer interface BCI.Microneedle electrodes [6] are current brain wave acquisition skills The dry electrode most generally used in art.Microneedle electrodes are a kind of electrodes researched and developed using micropin Technology design, pass through fine system It makes method and manufactures the array microneedle configuration to be formed in material surfaces such as silicon materials, metal, polymer and glass, directly pierce through angle Matter layer reduces the anti-influence to signal acquisition of its ultra-high resistance.It reliably has smaller impedance using more convenient, smaller Electrochemical properties, more conducively long-term measure use.But having the disadvantage that will avoid hurting skin corium when use, avoid to nerve With the injury of blood vessel.At the same time, although other textile electrodes have in wearable ECG, electromyographic signal collection system it is good Good application, but when applied to brain wave acquisition, the impedance effect of the poor contact and skin that are come due to hair carry makes to connect Tactile impedance further increases so that the acquisition of EEG signal becomes more difficult.
Traditional wet Electrode Operation is complicated, is difficult to wearable acquisition signal for a long time in order to overcome, and overcomes dry type The shortcomings of electrode signal is of poor quality, the present invention propose a kind of flexible dry electrode based on silica gel substrate.The electrode and scalp knot Conjunction is comfortable close, simultaneously because the use of high conductive material so that is obtained under the premise of without using conductive paste, Signa Gel high The original signal of quality is possibly realized.It is proved by the test of electrode electric property, shows that the electrode has comfortable wearing, operation The advantages that easy, sensitive precision is high is suitable for the fields such as health supervision, wearable eeg signal acquisition.

Currently, clinically widely used electrode for encephalograms is golden cup electrode or Ag/AgCl electrodes, often electrode with Skin contact part promotes impedance between laminating degree and electric conductivity, reduction skin-electrode with Signa Gel.However, with The increase of usage time, Signa Gel tends to hardening, related performance is remarkably decreased.
Flexibility electrode for encephalograms proposed by the present invention does not need Signa Gel, and the mechanical property of material itself can protect for a long time It holds and is contacted with the good of skin.Electrochemical workstation test result shows, between the skin-electrode of the electrode proposed impedance exist It is comparable with golden cup electrode and Ag/AgCl electrodes within the scope of 0.1 Hz-100k Hz, and nearly all physiological signal(Such as brain electricity, the heart Electricity, myoelectricity etc.)Frequency be all distributed in the range of 0.1 Hz to 1k Hz.Its do not need the characteristics of Signa Gel make its It has a clear superiority compared to Ag/AgCl electrodes in the application scenarios of wearable device, is compared with golden cup electrode, collected matter Amount is made no distinction of rank, and suitable for long-term monitoring.The electrode and golden cup electrode, Ag/ that this patent is proposed is set forth in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 Between the skin-electrode of AgCl electrodes impedance within the scope of 0.1 Hz-100k Hz in Fp1(Left antinion, no hair attachment)And F3 (Left volume has hair attachment)The comparison of position.In 0.1Hz to 200KHz frequency ranges, the flexible silicon gel electrode that patent proposes has Minimum skin electrode interface impedance is about the half of golden cup electrode near direct current frequency range(15K ohms), hinder simultaneously Anti- distribution is similar to EEG standard golden cup electrodes.Smaller skin electrode interface impedance makes dummy source internal resistance smaller, to Weaken the signal distortion problem brought since singal source resistance is larger.Ag/AgCl electrodes have maximum impedance in three kinds of electrodes, The corresponding acquisition for being difficult to use Ag/AgCl electrodes in practical applications and carrying out EEG signal.
In addition, for electrode, other than electrical performance wants excellent, effective signal can be collected and be only Final purpose.Therefore lead sleep monitor instrument PSG using medical grade is commercial more(Compumedics Grael)Equipment carries out signal Acquisition verification.Experiment condition is as follows:In order to ensure that stringent Variable Control, subject require to carry out cleaning guarantee examination before experiment It tests not by the interference of sweat, oil stain etc., and tests and terminate within a hour, it is assumed that in subject's physical condition this period It remains unchanged(Big variation will not occur over time for skin contact and impedance state leads to test failure), sample frequency For 256Hz.In the regions Fp1 contrast test is carried out using three kinds of electrodes.In the regions F3, due to the interference of hair, Ag/AgCl electrodes Collected signal quality is poor, therefore the contrast test of novel flexible electrode for encephalograms and golden cup electrode has only been carried out in the regions F3. This experiment carries out time domain and frequency-domain analysis to the original signal collected, and the feasible of electrode design is proved according to its feature Property.It is collected in the regions Fp1 with Ag/AgCl electrodes, golden cup electrode that novel flexible electrode for encephalograms is set forth in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 EEG signals and frequency-domain analysis comparison diagram.Figure 10 and Figure 11 novel flexibles electrode for encephalograms is collected with golden cup electrode in the regions F3 EEG signals and frequency-domain analysis comparison diagram.From the point of view of time domain, the two waveform having the same shows the two signal acquisition Validity.From the point of view of frequency domain, the spectrum structure that the two acquires signal is completely the same, demonstrates the reasonable of electrode design again Property.
