Product Overview

Pair this EEG cap with the CytonDaisy 16-channel board or any compatible bio-amplifier. Choose from sintered or coated electrodes.

  • The EEG Electrode Cap Kit is a scientifically-validated research tool

    The OpenBCI EEG Electrode Cap is engineered for reliable EEG bio-potential measurements with wet electrodes. The product comes in two variants:

    • 19-channel electrode cap with Ag/AgCl coated electrodes
    • Premium 19-channel electrode cap with patented, sintered Ag/AgCl electrodes

    Product Features: 

    • Contents are: a cap with electrodes, a syringe, and a cleaning brush.
    • Sleek, compact design for wet electrode EEG measurements
    • Engineered to combine the best of signal quality and comfort
    • Suitable for sleep studies
    • Compatibility with all OpenBCI boards and standard touch-proof connectors
    • Compatibility with OpenBCI's FREE open-source software
    • Compatibility with most bioamplifiers
    • Electrodes located and labeled using the internationally recognized 10-20 system
    • Comfortable, easy-to-clean mesh cap
    • Adjustable chinstrap for stability and reduction in movement artifacts
    • Insulated leads secured with built-in elastic tabs
    • Built-in durable sleeve for cable management
    • Comes in two Ag-AgCl electrode variants, coated and sintered
    • Three size options, S,M, and L 

     

    Noteelectrode gel is needed for this type of electrode cap

    The leads terminate in industry-standard 1.5mm Touch-Proof connectors and can be connected to the Cyton 8-channel or CytonDaisy 16-channel board with an electrode adapter. Please note: these items are not included in this kit!

    Important Notes: 

    • Electrode gel is required and sold separately. Purchase the recommended product HERE.
    • Cleaning the cap properly after use is very important and will substantially increase the longevity of the product. A brush for cleaning the cap is included!
    • The premium electrode cap with sintered AgAgCl electrodes is resistant to the corrosion of wet electrodes associated with repeated use. The sintered material is conductive throughout; a layer can be scraped off in the event of corrosion, restoring the signal quality. The sintered cap is longer-lasting and more durable. This cap has gray plastic guards around the electrodes (see product images).
    • It has been well-established by that sintered Ag-AgCl electrodes are superior to other types of commercially available electrodes, as compared here and here in Clinical Neurophysiology.
    • After 25-50 uses, corrosion of coated Ag/AgCl electrodes may require replacement of the cap if not maintained by cleaning, due to compromised conductive layer. This cap has black rubber guards around the electrodes (see product images)
    • Be sure to choose your size from the dropdown menu! See instructions below.
