Researchers from the University of Texas Austin and the University of California, Los Angeles developed ink that can be printed on a person's head and measure their brainwaves.

Folks soon might have their brain activity scanned using a temporary tattoo, a new study suggests. This temporary scalp tattoo allowed researchers to track electrical brain activity much more easily than with conventional electrodes, researchers reported Monday in the journal Cell Biomaterials .

For the first time, scientists have invented a liquid ink that doctors can print onto a patient's scalp to measure brain activity. The technology, presented December 2 in the journal Cell Biomaterials,

This temporary scalp tattoo allowed researchers to track electrical brain activity much more easily than with conventional electrodes, researchers reported Dec. 2 in the journal Cell Biomaterials. Electronic tattoos,

The specialized ink could eventually replace clunky EEG wires and "potentially revolutionize" brain-computer interface devices.

Scientists have developed a new technology that can measure brain waves using electronic, temporary tattoos. The researchers say the method could act as a quicker and more convenient way to monitor brain activity and diagnose neurological conditions,

Head tattoos are usually a last frontier reserved for true ink addicts, but they could help make it a whole lot easier to record someone's brain activity.
