Abstract
A sensor device includes a sensor housing defining a channel extending along a channel axis through the housing from a first side of the sensor housing to a second side of the sensor housing opposite the first side, at least one contact electrode extending from the first side of the housing, an electrically-conducting lead attached to the housing in electrical communication with the at least one contact electrode, and a locking mechanism located in the channel permitting one-way axial motion of a thread threaded through the channel from the first side to the second side.
Claims18
A sensor device, comprising:
- a sensor housing defining a channel extending along a channel axis through the housing from a first side of the sensor housing to a second side of the sensor housing opposite the first side;
- at least one contact electrode extending from the first side of the housing;
- an electrically-conducting lead attached to the housing in electrical communication with the at least one contact electrode;
- and
- a locking mechanism located in the channel permitting one-way axial motion of a thread threaded through the channel from the first side to the second side.
The sensor device of claim 14, wherein the electronic processor is programmed to adjust the position to maintain a level of electrical contact between the at least one contact electrode and the user's scalp.
