科技前緣🧠 神經接口革命：X-trodes 智能皮膚與乾電極如何實現戰術無接觸控制？🎙️ 摘要 (Summary)
本集「科技前緣」深入探討腦電圖（EEG）電極技術的最新突破，特別是乾電極和半乾電極的發展，如何克服傳統濕電極的諸多限制。我們將介紹 X-trodes 的旗艦產品**「Smart Skin」（智能皮膚），這是一種柔性、醫用級的乾電極貼片，能夠在高保真度下監測多種生物電信號（EEG、EMG、ECG、EOG）。此外，Smart Skin 已於 2024 年 2 月獲得 FDA 510(k) 許可。最後，本集將聚焦於 X-trodes 與 Wearable Devices 的戰略合作，成功交付用於先進戰術系統的神經接口系統**，該系統能讓操作員透過細微的肌肉活動和直覺手勢，在動態、極端環境中實現無接觸控制。
📌 Keypoint (重點)
傳統電極的限制與挑戰： 傳統濕電極是醫學黃金標準，但存在凝膠乾燥、洩漏、接觸阻抗增加，以及可能引起過敏等問題，不適用於長期或移動監測。
乾/半乾電極的優勢： 乾電極和半乾電極的發展旨在消除或減少導電凝膠需求，實現快速部署並適用於穿戴式設備，從而降低感染風險。
X-trodes Smart Skin技術： Smart Skin 是一種柔性、超薄的乾印製多模態電極貼片，無需凝膠或導線，可提供醫用級信號品質，能高保真監測 EEG、EMG、ECG 和 EOG 信號。
FDA 清除里程碑： X-trodes 的 Smart Skin 解決方案（以 X-trodes System M 名義行銷）已於 2024 年 2 月獲得 FDA 510(k) 許可，證明其測量結果具備臨床電生理設備的同等效力。
戰術系統的無接觸控制應用： X-trodes 與 Wearable Devices 合作，交付用於先進戰術系統的神經人機界面（HMI），使操作員能透過細微的神經肌肉活動，在極端環境中無縫控制戰術通信和導航系統。
動態手勢識別的高準確性： 透過軟性印製電極陣列，研究展示了在接近自然的動態條件下進行手勢識別的可行性，對於表現最佳的受試者，靜態準確度達到 85%，動態準確度達到 87%。
