aCUP-E electrodes outperform commercial liquid gel electrodes in impedance stability, electrode survival, and recording quality.
Compared with commercial electrodes, aCUP-E achieved 86.2% versus 65.3% optimal recording time, demonstrated improved survival over 24 h, lower impedance variability, and comparable signal acquisition according to Bland-Altman analysis. These findings support that new electrodes such the aCUP-E could improve and broden the use of aEEG as a reliable tool for prolonged neonatal neuromonitoring.

DOI 10.1109/mim.2026.11224914The study showed that the EPlacement device improves accuracy, reduces time, and is easy to use compared to the conventional method of electrode marking. The EPlacement method can facilitate the complex task of electrode marking and ultimately contribute to improved patient outcomes.
Despite the extensive usage of the Beam-F3 method to locate the F3 position for rTMS without MRI-based neuronavigation, its limitations must be considered. The Beam-F3 method does not locate the exact position of F3, and introduces an error that is dependent on the head shape. Calculating the F3 position using the Beam-F3 might hinder the assessment of the effectiveness of the therapies applied at this location that seek to generate changes in the underlying cortex.

DOI 10.1038/s41598-026-55760-xCommonly used heuristic methods do not reliably recover the true F3 position across heterogeneous cranial morphologies. In contrast, individualized regression-based approaches substantially reduce morphology-related error, supporting more accurate and scalable MRI-free targeting for rTMS and other non-invasive brain stimulation applications.
