Description

Boron-doped diamond microelectrode and preparation method and electroencephalogram application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes, and particularly relates to a Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) microelectrode, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Scalp electroencephalogram is a typical noninvasive brain wave measurement method, and records the electrophysiological activity of brain nerve cells on the surface of cerebral cortex or scalp. Hans Berger in 1924 recorded human electroencephalograms for the first time and Jasper in 1958 used EEG as the basis for clinical diagnosis and brain research. EEG as a noninvasive electroencephalogram monitoring means can detect brain diseases such as migraine, epilepsy, brain tumor and the like, and can assist diagnosis and research of functional diseases of a nervous system.
The traditional scalp brain electrode is an Ag-AgCl electrode coated with conductive paste, and is called a wet electrode, and the Ag-AgCl wet electrode has the advantages of low impedance, good stability, high signal to noise ratio and the like. However, the wet electrode has obvious disadvantages in that the experimental preparation process is complicated and time-consuming due to the need of applying the conductive paste. For example, the electrode has low spatial resolution, a tested person has uncomfortable feeling, and the conductive paste collected for a long time can be dried to influence the accuracy of signal collection, and the like, so that the wet electrode is inconvenient to use and difficult to popularize and develop.
Compared with a wet electrode using conductive adhesive, the scalp electroencephalogram electrode using the physiological saline as the electrolyte has obvious advantages, such as no pollution of the electrode, no phenomenon of colloid adhesion to hair, and the like. BDD brain electrical electrode has advantages of corrosion resistance, stability, low impedance and the like, and has few applications in brain electrical acquisition in skull. BDD, however, is among the hardest semiconductor materials, which makes it of limited application in brain or intra-cranial electroencephalogram acquisition.
