Biomedical Innovation for Everyone, Bias-Free

Author(s)3: Leslie Mertz
Biomedical Innovation for Everyone, Bias-Free 2121 1414 IEEE Pulse
When undergraduate student Arnelle Etienne (Figure 1) joined a research group at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Pittsburgh, PA, USA, to help with the development of electroencephalograph (EEG) electrodes, her first task was to do some background work and learn about them. What she found was both surprising and dismaying: EEG electrodes had never worked—and still did not work on—a large segment of the population; and clinicians and researchers knew about the oversight. read more
