It can take a couple of hours just to get you ready to start monitoring brain waves.
The process still takes an hour because the researchers have to make corrections for the person’s head movements.
The ink dries into an ultra-thin film just 30 micrometers thick half the width of a hair.
The advantages don’t stop at easier setups, either.
They come off quite easily too all you have to use is an alcohol wipe or some shampoo.
They’ll also look at using it to monitor specific neurological disorders.
Another idea under consideration is embedding tiny transmitters into the ink to make the tattoos fully wireless.
The complete findings can be found in a new studypublishedMonday in the journal Cell Biomaterials.
