A disposable electrode array 100, 200 including a flexible member 106, 206 in which a plurality of electrodes 102, 202 are disposed, having a shape adapted to contact the forehead skin surface on a human patient. A pair of ear loops 104, 204 coupled to the disposable electrode array 100, 200 secure the disposable electrode array 100, 200 about the patient's ears, with the flexible member 106, 206 disposed across the patient's bow, retaining the electrodes 102, 202 against the skin surface. Additional electrodes 102, 202 are disposed in proximity to the ear loops 104, 204 and are configured to contact the skin surface behind the patient's ears. An auditory stimulus delivery element 116, 216 is coupled with each of the ear loops 104, 204, and positioned to seat in proximity to the patient's ear canal for the delivery of auditory stimulus. Electrical conductors associated with the electrodes 102, 202 and the stimulus delivery elements 116, 216 are routed within the flexible member 106, 206 to a common external connection point 118, 218 for connection to an external system. The disposable electrode array 100, 200 may be configured for both evoking and measuring evoked bio-potentials in the human subject, or for measuring bio-potentials evoked using a separate stimulus delivery system.

L'invention porte sur un réseau d'électrodes à jeter 100, 200 comportant un élément souple 106, 206 où sont disposées plusieurs électrodes 102, 202 dont la forme est conçue pour se poser sur la peau du front d'un patient. Une paire de boucles 104, 204 auriculaires et reliées au réseau d'électrodes 100, 200 le fixent aux oreilles alors que le l'élément souple 106, 206 disposé autour de l'arc frontal du patient retient les électrodes 102, 202 sur la peau. D'autres électrodes 102, 202 sont conçu pour se poser sur la peau derrière l'oreille du patient. Un élément 116, 216 produisant un stimulus auditif et relié aux boucles 104, 204 auriculaires se place à proximité du canal auditif. Des conducteurs électriques associés aux électrodes 102, 202 et aux éléments 116, 216 produisant le stimulus se raccordent à un point externe de connexion à un système extérieur. Le réseau d'électrodes à jeter 100, 200 peut être configuré pour à la fois susciter et mesurer les biopotentiels, ou pour mesurer les biopotentiels suscités par des systèmes séparés de simulation.
