Quantitative assessment of signal quality and usability of EEG and EMG recordings with PEDOT:PSS-coated microneedle electrodes
PEDOT:PSS-coated MN electrodes provided superior EMG signal quality and high-quality EEG signals comparable to wet electrodes even without gel. These findings suggest that PEDOT:PSS-coated MN electrodes offer a compelling balance of signal quality and user convenience, making them especially advantageous for real-world and clinical applications where time efficiency, minimal discomfort, and gel-free operation are critical.
