Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst had earlier made physiology-sensing pajamas and now have a new, lightweight eye mask that will make unobtrusive capture pulse, eye movement, and sleep signals possible even when worn in an everyday environment. The study published in journal Matter will make tracking of pulse and eye movement possible with the help of studying sleep and psycho-social factors. This single wearable device will improve accuracy and usability in virtual reality headsets and gaming. The recording of health and behavior signals might be challenging but this new eye mask makes it all happen with great sensitivity.
The lightweight and well-tailored eye mask uses miniaturized fabric electrodes to measure electro-oculography and cardiac signals. Enticingly, there is no need of custom fitting as the electrodes automatically adjust themselves. The five silver (Ag) thread-based hydrogel electrodes convert ion-based biological signals into an electric current for further reading. Furthermore, the reusability and washable hydrogel component is projected to make this new mask the first option the moment it enters the market. The pressure sensor placed on a specific artery helps monitor pulse for cardiac function. This direct connection of raw data to the cloud for processing and data visualization helps lower instrumentation.
The testing of the new wearable device has shown effective results while performing various head movements, chewing, talking, and various other movements. Speaking of discomfort, this new eye mask overpowers all the hitches of commercial wet electrodes. The signal-to-noise ratio is perfect thereby making this device applicable. The unique bimodality that is the use of both pressure sensor and electrode network gives it a new cutting edge that can investigate mental health, sleep quality, sleep disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and schizophrenia.
