The system further includes circuitry connected to the electrodes and configured to receive a set of voltage signals from a set of electrodes arranged on an audio endpoint worn by a user, multiplex said voltage signals into an input signal, remove a predicted central voltage from said input signal, to provide a detrended signal, and determine said gaze direction based on said detrended signal. Such conducting foam materials provide satisfactory bio-sensing performance for a wide range of compression levels and over time. In the case of on-ear headphones, the foam electrodes may be integrated in the cuffs with little or no effect on the comfort level.

The development of stretchable, mechanically and electrically robust interconnects by printing an elastic, silver-based composite ink onto stretchable fabric. Such interconnects can have conductivity of 3000-4000 S/cm and are durable under cyclic stretching. In serpentine shape, the fabric-based conductor is enhanced in electrical durability. Resistance increases only ˜5 times when cyclically stretched over a thousand times from zero to 30% strain at a rate of 4% strain per second due to the ink permeating the textile structure. The textile fibers are wetted with composite ink to form a conductive, stretchable cladding of the silver particles. The e-textile can realize a fully printed, double-sided electronic system of sensor-textile-interconnect integration. The double-sided e-textile can be used for a surface electromyography (sEMG) system to monitor muscles activities, an electroencephalography (EEG) system to record brain waves, and the like.
