Electrode Caps / ActiCap

acti Cap© - The third generation of active electrodes

Brain Products is proud to present actiCAP, another ground-breaking development aimed at raising EEG & ERP research to the next level. actiCAP combines active electrodes based on high-quality Ag/AgCl sensors with a new type of integrated noise subtraction circuits delivering even lower noise levels than any other „normal“ active electrodes achieves.

But that‘s not all: actiCAP can be connected to nearly any existing research EEG amplifier system. All of our amplifiers as well as most of our competitors’ amplifiers will work with actiCAP. If you decide to switch from passive to active electrodes you will no longer be forced to exchange your entire recording system. Simply keep your existing hardware, and the acquisition and analysis software you are used to working with and add the actiCAP to reduce your preparation time e.g. for 64 channels down less than 10 minutes.

Some more actiCAP features in brief:

?Impedances are measured and displayed at each electrode by using LEDs

?Impedance values are stored in a text file and can be reviewed any time during data analysis

?Each electrode can be disconnected from the system and replaced with a new one in case of malfunctioning

?Electrodes can be plugged into the cap before the cap is placed on the subject. In fact a slit in the electrode housing allows to inject gel and minimize the impedances while the cap and the electrodes are already in place

With the actiCAP we recommend using the SuperVisc gel.
