The purpose of the secondment of Lucia Velluto at partner UPORTO was to transfer part of her expertise in clinical neurology and multimodal acquisitions in neuroscience to the technical staff members of UPORTO. In particular, Lucia Velluto contributed to the identification of the disadvantages of gel-based electrodes that should be overcome with the dry electrode concept. She also contributed to assess issues such as patient comfort and biocompatibility of the materials used for the dry electrodes.
