Liquid ink innovation could revolutionize brain activity monitoring with e-tattoo sensors

- By InnoNurse Staff -

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking liquid ink that allows doctors to print sensors onto a patient's scalp to monitor brain activity.

This innovative technology, detailed in the journal Cell Biomaterials, could replace the cumbersome traditional EEG setup, enhancing the comfort and efficiency of diagnosing neurological conditions like epilepsy and brain injuries.

The ink, made from conductive polymers, flows through hair to the scalp, forming thin-film sensors capable of detecting brainwaves with accuracy comparable to standard electrodes. Unlike conventional setups that lose signal quality after hours, these "e-tattoo" electrodes maintain stable connectivity for over 24 hours. Researchers have also adapted the ink to eliminate the need for bulky wires by printing conductive lines that transmit brainwave data.

The process is quick, non-invasive, and can be further refined to integrate wireless data transmission, paving the way for fully wireless EEG systems. The technology holds significant promise for advancing brain-computer interfaces, potentially replacing bulky headsets with lightweight, on-body electronics.

The Eddy Covariance (EC) system is a technique for measuring the fluxes of energy and gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor in eddies over the forest. These measurements indicate how much of these gases are absorbed or released by plants and soils through photosynthesis, and how much is rising into the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. Illustration by Jorge Alemán, STRI

Excerpt from this story from Smithsonian Magazine:

Just as humans inhale and exhale, forests absorb and release gases. There is a constant exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and other gases between the soils, vegetation and air, which scientists measure to understand how much is released into the atmosphere, and how much is absorbed by plants and trees through photosynthesis.

This gas exchange is measured by a system called eddy covariance.

An eddy is air that moves circularly due to turbulence (changes in speed and direction). At night, temperatures drop and the air is more stable, and during the day, when temperatures rise, the air moves more; these fluctuations between day and night create the wind we feel, and therefore eddies, which move in different directions, carrying different concentrations of CO2, H2O and other gases.

Covariance refers to simultaneously measuring the concentration of gases and the changes in the direction of the eddies, to understand how much carbon, water vapor, and energy are shifting and where, and how they change from moment to moment (fluxes). This is done with equipment called sonic anemometers, which measure wind speed and direction, and infrared CO2/H2O gas analyzers. That’s hundreds of measurements per minute in real time from these devices that detect how many molecules of these gases move through a defined area or volume, and how many rise into the atmosphere or are absorbed by forests.

"The Eddy Covariance (EC) system is a micro-meteorological technique used to directly monitor these exchanges between forests and the atmosphere, as these interactions are critical to understanding the role of forests within the global climate system," explains Matteo Detto, a researcher in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University, who installed the EC system at the AVA tower on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) in 2012.

"Carbon can be in many places, in the soil, in plants, in the atmosphere, and there's just no other way to track it, but this system does it," says Joe Wright, a staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI).

At STRI, research technician Alfonso Zambrano manages and verifies the data collection of the EC system. "BCI's EC system has been operating continuously for the last ten years," says Zambrano. "It's important because it's a localized way of calculating gas exchange over the forest. And there are very few of these systems in the tropics."

The first AVA tower was built in 2012 as part of the ForestGEO network's climate monitoring program; Detto, then an associate staff scientist at STRI, added the EC system sensors, and managed them until 2017.

"One of the big uncertainties in these models, which has prevented us from being able to predict the future of the climate more accurately," Wright continues, "is how tropical forests will respond to higher temperatures, global increases in atmospheric carbon, and changes in regional precipitation. How are they going to react? It’s guesswork. So, we use technology to provide data that helps fill those information gaps."

"The data generated by the tower in BCI is crucial to improve these ecosystem models, such as those developed by NGEE-Tropics, to predict how forests will behave in future climate scenarios," explains Detto. "And they rely on field observations like ours to calibrate and validate the models."

Sure, I can help you develop a research paper on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) and their ethical considerations. Here's an outline for the paper, followed by the research content and sources.

Research Paper: Brain-Computer Interfaces and Ethical Considerations

Introduction

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are a revolutionary technological advancement that enables direct communication between the human brain and external devices. BCIs have applications in medicine, neuroscience, gaming, communication, and more. However, as these technologies progress, they raise several ethical concerns related to privacy, autonomy, consent, and the potential for misuse. This paper will explore the ethical implications of BCIs, addressing both the potential benefits and the risks.

Overview of Brain-Computer Interfaces

BCIs function by detecting neural activity in the brain and translating it into digital signals that can control devices. These interfaces can be invasive or non-invasive. Invasive BCIs involve surgical implantation of devices in the brain, while non-invasive BCIs use sensors placed on the scalp to detect brain signals.

Applications of BCIs

Medical Uses: BCIs are used for treating neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, ALS, and spinal cord injuries. They can restore lost functions, such as enabling patients to control prosthetic limbs or communicate when other forms of communication are lost.

Neuroenhancement: There is also interest in using BCIs for cognitive enhancement, improving memory, or even controlling devices through thoughts alone, which could extend to various applications such as gaming or virtual reality.

Communication: For individuals who are unable to speak or move, BCIs offer a means of communication through thoughts, which can be life-changing for those with severe disabilities.

Ethical Considerations

Privacy Concerns

Data Security: BCIs have the ability to access and interpret private neural data, raising concerns about who owns this data and how it is protected. The possibility of unauthorized access to neural data could lead to privacy violations, as brain data can reveal personal thoughts, memories, and even intentions.

Surveillance: Governments and corporations could misuse BCIs for surveillance purposes. The potential to track thoughts or monitor individuals without consent raises serious concerns about autonomy and human rights.

Consent and Autonomy

Informed Consent: Invasive BCIs require surgical procedures, and non-invasive BCIs can still impact mental and emotional states. Obtaining informed consent from individuals, particularly vulnerable populations, becomes a critical issue. There is concern that some individuals may be coerced into using these technologies.

Cognitive Freedom: With BCIs, there is a potential for individuals to lose control over their mental states, thoughts, or even memories. The ability to "hack" or manipulate the brain may lead to unethical modifications of cognition, identity, or behavior.

Misuse of Technology

Weaponization: As mentioned in your previous request, there are concerns that BCIs could be misused for mind control or as a tool for weapons. The potential for military applications of BCIs could lead to unethical uses, such as controlling soldiers or civilians.

Exploitation: There is a risk that BCIs could be used for exploitative purposes, such as manipulating individuals' thoughts, emotions, or behavior for commercial gain or political control.

Psychological and Social Impacts

Psychological Effects: The integration of external devices with the brain could have unintended psychological effects, such as changes in personality, mental health issues, or cognitive distortions. The potential for addiction to BCI-driven experiences or environments, such as virtual reality, could further impact individuals' mental well-being.

Social Inequality: Access to BCIs may be limited by economic factors, creating disparities between those who can afford to enhance their cognitive abilities and those who cannot. This could exacerbate existing inequalities in society.

Regulation and Oversight

Ethical Standards: As BCI technology continues to develop, it is crucial to establish ethical standards and regulations to govern their use. This includes ensuring the technology is used responsibly, protecting individuals' rights, and preventing exploitation or harm.

Government Involvement: Governments may have a role in regulating the use of BCIs, but there is also the concern that they could misuse the technology for surveillance, control, or military applications. Ensuring the balance between innovation and regulation is key to the ethical deployment of BCIs.

Conclusion

Brain-Computer Interfaces hold immense potential for improving lives, particularly for individuals with disabilities, but they also come with significant ethical concerns. Privacy, autonomy, misuse, and the potential psychological and social impacts must be carefully considered as this technology continues to evolve. Ethical standards, regulation, and oversight will be essential to ensure that BCIs are used responsibly and equitably.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink looking for volunteer to have piece of their skull cut open by robotic surgeon

Elon Musk’s chip implant company Neuralink is looking for its first volunteer who is willing to have a piece of their skull removed so that a robotic surgeon can insert thin wires and electrodes into their brain.

The ideal candidate will be a quadriplegic under the age of 40 who will also for a procedure that involves implanting a chip, which has 1,000 electrodes, into their brain, the company told Bloomberg News.

The interface would enable computer functions to be performed using only thoughts via a “think-and-click” mechanism.

After a surgeon removes a part of the a skull, a 7-foot-tall robot, dubbed “R1,” equipped with cameras, sensors and a needle will push 64 threads into the brain while doing its best to avoid blood vessels, Bloomberg reported.

Each thread, which is around 1/14th the diameter of a strand of human hair, is lined with 16 electrodes that are programmed to gather data about the brain.

The task is assigned to robots since human surgeons would likely not be able to weave the threads into the brain with the precision required to avoid damaging vital tissue.

Elon Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink is looking for human volunteers for experimental trials.AP

The electrodes are designed to record neural activity related to movement intention. These neural signals are then decoded by Neuralink computers.

R1 has already performed hundreds of experimental surgeries on pigs, sheep, and monkeys. Animal rights groups have been critical of Neuralink for alleged abuses.

“The last two years have been all about focus on building a human-ready product,” Neuralink co-founder DJ Seo told Bloomberg News.

“It’s time to help an actual human being.”

It is unclear if Neuralink plans to pay the volunteers.

The Post has sought comment from the company.

Those with paralysis due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may qualify for the study, but the company did not reveal how many participants would be enrolled in the trial, which will take about six years to complete.

Musk’s company is seeking quadriplegics who are okay with their skull being opened so that a wireless brain-computer implant, which has 1,000 electrodes, could be lodged into their brain.REUTERS

Neuralink, which had earlier hoped to receive approval to implant its device in 10 patients, was negotiating a lower number of patients with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after the agency raised safety concerns, according to current and former employees.

It is not known how many patients the FDA ultimately approved.

“The short-term goal of the company is to build a generalized brain interface and restore autonomy to those with debilitating neurological conditions and unmet medical needs,” Seo, who also holds the title of vice president for engineering, told Bloomberg.

The brain chip device would be implanted underneath a human skull.

“Then, really, the long-term goal is to have this available for billions of people and unlock human potential and go beyond our biological capabilities.”

Musk has grand ambitions for Neuralink, saying it would facilitate speedy surgical insertions of its chip devices to treat conditions like obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia.

In May, the company said it had received clearance from the FDA for its first-in-human clinical trial, when it was already under federal scrutiny for its handling of animal testing.

Even if the BCI device proves to be safe for human use, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the startup to secure commercial use clearance for it, according to experts.

Mind-Control Tech: Are We Ready?

Neurotech Interfaces: Are We Ready to Control Devices with Our Minds?

Imagine typing a message, controlling your car, or playing a game - all without lifting a finger. That’s no longer the stuff of science fiction. It’s the direction technology is heading, thanks to the emergence of brain-computer interfaces. These neural systems are promising a future where direct communication between the mind and machines could be as natural as touchscreens are today. But are we ready for that level of integration?

What Is a Brain-Computer Interface?

A brain-computer interface, or BCI, is a system that connects the human brain to an external device. It picks up electrical signals from brain activity, interprets them, and converts them into commands. These signals can then be used to operate machines, apps, or prosthetics without physical movement. Think of it as a bridge between the brain’s intent and the digital world - a connection made possible through sensors, algorithms, and years of neurological research.

From Labs to Lives: How BCIs Are Used Today

While the idea sounds futuristic, brain-computer interfaces are already active in the medical world. They’ve been used to help paralyzed individuals move robotic limbs, control cursors, or speak through synthesized voices. Companies like Blackrock Neurotech are at the forefront, developing high-fidelity brain implants used in clinical trials. Their work with motor restoration and cognitive tracking shows how BCI technology is already changing lives.

Then there’s Neuralink, the venture backed by Elon Musk. The company has performed public demonstrations showing how their neural device allows monkeys to play games with their minds. In 2025, Neuralink moved into its first human trials, aiming to make BCI technology both safe and commercially viable. These early cases show the tech is quite real.

Gaming, Work, and Beyond: The Consumer BCI Vision

Beyond medical applications, companies are eyeing consumer use. Imagine logging into your computer, playing immersive VR games, or writing documents - all powered by thought. Brain-computer interfaces could radically change how people interact with digital environments. This would allow faster reactions in gameplay, deeper immersion in simulations, and even better focus in productivity tasks. The idea of working or learning with your mind, instead of just your hands, opens up a whole new design philosophy.

The Ethics of Mind Access

The more connected we become, the more questions arise. What happens when brain signals are stored? Who gets access to this data? As interfaces become more sensitive, the line between control and surveillance starts to blur. Thought data, unlike browsing history, is deeply personal. Once exposed, it can’t be changed. These concerns go far beyond cybersecurity — they enter the realm of personal agency and mental privacy.

Who Owns Your Thoughts?

If a BCI captures and stores neural patterns, that data becomes valuable. But it also becomes vulnerable. Could your thoughts be used against you? Could companies monetize your focus or mood patterns? Could governments mandate brain scans for security? These questions are no longer theoretical. The speed of innovation demands answers about ownership, rights, and accountability. Before any BCI becomes mainstream, these gaps in ethical design must be addressed.

Qwegle’s Watch on Future Interfaces

At Qwegle, we keep a close eye on how these frontier technologies impact business design and user behavior. Our experts help brands understand how new interfaces will shape digital experiences. From future-proofing content platforms to exploring new modes of interaction, we support businesses navigating shifts in data control. For us, tech is not just about novelty. It’s about preparation.

Roadblocks Ahead: What’s Slowing Adoption?

Despite the excitement, brain-computer interfaces face serious limitations. Surgical implants are invasive and expensive. Signal clarity often requires lab-grade equipment. There are still a few universal standards for hardware or data formats. Regulations are catching up slowly, and widespread trust is missing. Until brain interfaces are proven safe, accessible, and secure, mass adoption remains unlikely - but not out of reach.

Where Are We Headed? Over the next five to ten years, we’ll likely see non-invasive versions of BCIs, starting with wearables and accessories, enter the mainstream. Neuralink and Blackrock Neurotech are expected to release more trial data, and regulatory agencies will be pressured to keep pace. Once the technology becomes simpler and safer, it could change everything from education to smart homes. The journey to mind-controlled tech has already begun - now it’s a matter of how far and fast we’re willing to go.

Post-Stroke Recovery: Integrating Neurorehabilitation With Technology

Recovering from a stroke is a journey that often requires extensive rehabilitation, patience, and support. In recent years, the landscape of post-stroke care has been transformed by technological innovation. From robotics to virtual reality, technology is not just supplementing neurorehabilitation—it’s reshaping it.

Understanding Neurorehabilitation

Neurorehabilitation is a specialized form of therapy aimed at helping individuals recover physical, cognitive, and emotional functions after a neurological event such as a stroke treatment. It involves a multidisciplinary approach, often including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and neuropsychologists. The goal is to help patients regain independence and improve quality of life.

Traditionally, neurorehabilitation has focused on repetitive, task-specific exercises to retrain the brain. However, progress can be slow, and motivation may wane over time. This is where technology plays a crucial role by making therapy more interactive, personalized, and engaging.

The Rise of Technology in Stroke Recovery

Technological tools are increasingly being integrated into stroke rehabilitation programs to enhance outcomes. Here are some of the most promising innovations:

Robotic Therapy Devices Robotic exoskeletons and arm rehabilitation devices are helping patients perform guided, repetitive movements with high precision. These devices support motor recovery by reinforcing neural pathways through consistent practice, often outperforming conventional therapy in terms of intensity and accuracy.

Virtual Reality (VR) and Gamification Virtual environments allow patients to simulate real-life activities in a controlled, safe setting. VR has been shown to improve balance, coordination, and motor skills while keeping patients motivated. Gamification of therapy tasks, like reaching or walking, adds an element of fun and progress tracking that encourages consistent participation.

Telerehabilitation Platforms With the expansion of telehealth, patients can now receive therapy remotely through secure video sessions and app-based programs. Telerehabilitation increases accessibility for those in remote or underserved areas and helps maintain continuity of care after hospital discharge.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) Still emerging but promising, BCIs allow direct communication between the brain and external devices. In stroke rehabilitation, BCIs can help detect a patient’s intention to move and convert that into actual movement using robotic aids or electrical stimulation.

Wearable Sensors and AI Monitoring Wearables can track patient movements, heart rate, and muscle activity in real-time. Data collected is analyzed using AI to provide therapists with insights on progress and help adjust treatment plans accordingly.

Looking Ahead

While technology cannot replace the expertise and empathy of healthcare professionals, it offers powerful tools to augment recovery. The integration of advanced technologies into neurorehabilitation is not only improving patient outcomes but also making therapy more accessible and individualized.

For stroke survivors, these advancements represent more than just machines—they offer renewed hope and tangible steps toward regaining control over their lives. As research continues to evolve, the future of post-stroke recovery looks increasingly promising.
