UT researchers have created an electrode that can be used to rehabilitate stroke patients at home, according to a study published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics. Austin American-Statesman, November 10, 2022

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, co-led by Texas BME's Huiliang (Evan) Wang, have developed an electroencefalography (EEG) electrode that patients wear on their head to monitor  activity. The EEG electrodes system could act as a brain-computer interface (BCI), which can be controlled by  to help repair damage to the brain caused by strokes and other disorders.
