Abstract

Natural polymers such as chitosan and alginate are emerging as sustainable alternatives to synthetic EEG gels. Current literature highlights their biocompatibility, hydration capacity, and ionic conductivity, suggesting potential improvements in signal stability, comfort, and environmental impact. This review summarizes key findings on natural‑polymer conductive hydrogels and their relevance for next‑generation EEG applications.
