Bill Gates predicts smartphones will become obsolete, replaced by electronic tattoos embedded in the skin that enable communication, health monitoring, and security, raising questions about privacy, security, and social impact.
Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed temporary electronic tattoos that can non-invasively monitor brain activity, potentially revolutionizing EEG testing and brain-computer interfaces. These e-tattoos use a specialized liquid ink that can be applied to the scalp, even through hair, and provide stable readings for up to 24 hours. This innovation could make EEGs more convenient and comfortable, reducing the need for cumbersome equipment and wires, and may also enhance brain-computer interface devices by eliminating the need for bulky headsets.
Researchers have developed electronic tattoos that can measure brain waves, offering a quicker and more convenient alternative to traditional EEG tests. These e-tattoos, made from conductive ink, are applied to the scalp and can detect brain activity as effectively as conventional electrodes. The technology, which is still being refined for automation and wireless data transmission, could simplify the process of diagnosing neurological conditions and potentially allow for overnight brain monitoring.
