Soft and dry electrode

A soft and dry electrode for measuring bioelectric signals of an individual, the electrode made of elastomeric material, has conductive properties, and comprises a central connector portion with attachment means for attaching the electrode to a measuring apparatus and a plurality of flexible contact members,

• wherein the electrode has a connector side on a side of the attachment means, and a contact side opposite the connector side and facing the individual when applying the electrode to the individual;
• wherein the connector portion further defines a central axis of the electrode arranged centrally through the contact side and the connector side of the electrode;
• wherein the plurality of contact members is arranged around the central axis and connected with the connector portion, the plurality of contact members further protrudes on the contact side of the connector portion for contacting an area of interest of the individual for measurement;
• wherein each contact member of the plurality of contact members comprises a flexible leg portion and a foot portion at a free end of the flexible leg portion;
• wherein the flexible leg portion has a longitudinal cavity formed by an inner wall curved around a longitudinal axis of the contact member,
• wherein the longitudinal cavity remains open on the connector side and is closed on the contact side by the foot portion;
• and
• wherein the foot portion and the flexible leg portion form a continuous radially inner contact surface.
