Recently, the Georgia Tech Wearable Smart Systems and Healthcare Center has teamed up with South Korean institutions to develop a microbrain-computer interface that is small enough to fit between hair follicles on the scalp, promising benefits for people with disabilities.

The related paper was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Professor Hong Yeo Harris Sanders from the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech combined microneedle technology with his extensive expertise in wearable sensor technology to create a new type of painless, wearable microneedle brain-computer interface wireless sensor.

This sensor can reliably detect long-term brain signals and can be easily placed between hair follicles.

Compared to traditional gels or dry electrodes, the skin placement and extremely small size of this new wireless brain interface may offer numerous advantages.
