We might one day be able to monitor our bodies' internal functions -- and prevent things like epileptic seizures before they happen -- using a flexible circuit attached to the surface of skin. The National Science Foundation announced Monday that researchers are working on a prototype tattoo-like device that can detect heart, muscle and brain activity.

Electronic Tissue Monitors Brain, Heart and Muscle
Scientists are trying to develop tissue-like electronics that conform better to human organs. Elastic electronics, they call it. John Rogers, professor of material science and engineering at the University of Illinois has developed a device that can wrap around a rabbit heart and deliver current to the heart tissue to stop arrhythmia. He hopes similar devices can be used to treat brain seizures ...

Electronic tattoo monitors brain, heart and muscles
Imagine if there were electronics able to prevent epileptic seizures before they happen. Or electronics that could be placed on the surface of a beating heart to monitor its functions. The problem is that such devices are a tough fit. Body tissue is soft and pliable while conventional circuits can be hard and brittle--at least until now.
