Caption

Researchers spent four years perfecting the recipe for the sensors' materials. Sensors designed to work on a subject's hair are made of a mix of silver and carbon deposited on a flexible substrate. This material allows sensors to remain flexible and durable while still conducting high-quality signals--a silver/silver-chloride coating is key here.
