Dry electrodes for electrophysiology measurement

An apparatus for making electrical connections in electrophysiological measurements and monitoring, the apparatus comprising:

• a first side comprising an electrical contact;
• a second side opposing the first side, the second side comprising an electrode;
• a layer disposed between the first side and the second side and adapted to remove moisture from a region of the second side;
• an adhesive layer disposed over the layer and configured to affix the apparatus to a body of a user;
• and
• a conductive structure comprising a first portion, forming the electrode, and a second portion, forming an opposing electrical contact, the two portions integrally connected by an electrode lead line,
• wherein the conductive structure is wrapped around the layer such that the first portion is configured to contact skin, and such that the second portion of the conductive structure contacts the electrical contact,
• wherein the electrode lead line is disposed over the layer on the first side and extends over the layer on the second side so as to be wrapped around an outer edge of the layer, and
• wherein the opposing electrical contact of the conductive structure is electrically connected to a contacting portion of the electrical contact, such that the electrode lead line provides an electrical connection between the electrode and the opposing electrical contact.
