  • a conductive silicone rubber can be obtained by heating and drying the conductive solution as necessary.
  • the conductive silicone rubber may be configured without silicone oil. As a result, it is possible to suppress deterioration in conductivity due to bleeding out of the silicone oil onto the surface of the electrode portion 80 .
  • An example of a method for manufacturing the electroencephalogram detection electrode 50 of this embodiment can include the following steps. First, using a mold, the silicone rubber-based curable composition is molded under heat and pressure to obtain a molded body comprising the base portion 51 and the projection portion 60 . Subsequently, a signal line 69 is threaded through each protrusion 60 of the obtained molding using a sewing needle. A pasty conductive solution is dip-coated on the protruding portion 60 (predetermined range including the vertex 61) of the molded body obtained thereafter, and post-curing is performed after heating and drying. Thereby, the electrode portion 80 can be formed on the surface of the projection portion 60 . As described above, the electroencephalogram detection electrode 50 can be manufactured. During the molding process, insert molding may be used in which the silicone rubber-based curable composition is introduced into the molding space in which the signal line 69 is arranged, and pressurized and heat-molded.
