Summary

A team of McGill University researchers has developed a putty-like electrode that molds to the skin to improve treatment and monitoring of voice disorders and upper airway diseases. In a proof-of-concept study, the sensor matched a standard clinical electrode for noise and stability while recording activity from small neck muscles. The sensor could help track breathing, swallowing and speaking during rehabilitation after a stroke or in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, the researchers said. The work is published in the journal Science Advances .
