Charlotte & Melba are proud and delighted that our cat hat pattern was used to further scientific research!
"Researchers from the University of Montreal have created a first-of-its-kind electrode-lined crochet beanie that can be used to measure a cat’s brain activity. Aside from being adorable, the custom-made wool caps also let researchers, for the first time, conduct EEG brain scans on felines without having to sedate them. These electrode-filled winter caps are already being used to help determine how cats experiencing chronic pain may respond when exposed to pleasant sounds and smells. The findings were published this month in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods." (Source: https://www.popsci.com/technology/cat-hat-science/)
