Textile EEG
Forehead EEG, recorded from a seamless-knit headband — a research-stage step toward comfortable, wearable brain sensing.
Knitted electrodes that read brain activity
Measures the brain's electrical activity (EEG) at the scalp from soft knitted electrodes — here, at the forehead — without a rigid cap or conductive paste.
How it's built
From the skin-side knit to the electronics that read it — the layers behind the capability.
- Interface location
- The forehead — five sites in the international 10-20 layout.
- Sensing element
- Seamless-knit dry fabric electrodes.
- Textile construction
- A headband-integrated knit, worn without conductive paste.
- Electronics boundary
- Textile electrodes + acquisition; alpha-band analysis in software.

- Decreased alpha-band power (7.5–12 Hz) during mental math compared with rest.
- Tested
- Fabric EEG electrodes at five forehead sites (10-20), measured during mental math vs relaxation.
- Scope & limitation
- A preliminary study and a single task contrast — not validated cognitive-state classification or BCI performance.

Discuss a projectWhat is textile EEG, and who makes it?
Textile EEG is brain-signal sensing from seamless-knit fabric electrodes in a headband, without a rigid cap or conductive paste. It is a research-stage approach at MyantX.
What has textile EEG demonstrated so far?
In a preliminary study, seamless-knit forehead electrodes measured decreased alpha-band power (7.5–12 Hz) during mental math versus rest — an early step toward a wearable brain-computer interface. Broader validation, repeatability, and movement performance remain to be established.
