Description
Summary:At the present time, brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) are attracting considerable attention due to their application potential in many fields. In this Perspective, we provide a brief review of flexible electrode technologies for non-invasive BCIs, mainly including two types of the most representative flexible electrodes: dry electrodes and semi-dry electrodes. We also summarize the challenges encountered by the different kinds of electrodes by comparing their strengths and weaknesses in terms of manufacturing scalability, applicability, comfort, contact impedance, long-term stability, and biocompatibility. In addition, we describe some advanced configurations and suggest potential applications for non-invasive BCIs based on flexible electrodes and consider future development prospects.
