Initially, the researchers wanted to see if they could feasibly use EEG, or electroencephalogram, to identify brain signals in cats living with osteoarthritis, a chronic, painful condition that affects around a quarter (25.

Canadian scientists crafted small wool caps to securely hold electrodes in place, preventing cats from shaking them off during chronic pain tests. In a world-first, veterinary scientists at the University of Montreal have successfully developed a method to scan the brains of awake cats,

In a world first, veterinary scientists at Université de Montréal have found a way to scan the brains of cats while they're awake, using electrodes concealed under specially knitted wool caps.
