1. A system, comprising:
an electrode comprising:
a first plurality of electrically active electrode pads disposed on a first end to receive bioelectrical signals from a target area;
a second plurality of electrically active electrode pads disposed on a second end and in electrical communication with the first plurality of electrically active electrode pads; and
an electrode connection system to electrically connect the electrode to an electrical component, the electrode connection system comprising:
an electrical connector body, comprising:
an electrode channel to receive the electrode; and
an electrode clamp, comprising:
a first portion;
a second portion; and
a hinge to couple the first portion to the second portion and to transition between an open position and a closed position;
wherein the second end of the electrode is secured in the electrode channel in the closed position and removable from the electrode channel in the open position, and the hinge maintains an electrical connection between the second plurality of electrically active electrode pads and the electrical component.
