How does a wireless EEG work?
Through the use of EEG headsets, EEG sensors measure the brain’s electrical activity, or brainwaves. Today, wireless EEG headsets allow readings to be done completely non-invasively from the comfort of your home. They are simple and comfortable to wear, and are powered by a single AAA battery.
What type of electrodes are used in EEG?
More in detail, EEG electrodes are produced with the shape of a cup, disc or needle, and are usually made of silver (Ag) and silver chloride (AgCl) [29]. Because Ag is a slightly soluble salt, AgCl quickly saturates and comes to equilibrium. Therefore, Ag is a good metal for metallic skin-surface electrodes [30].
What are wet electrodes?
Wet electrodes are electrodes generally made of silver/silver chloride material (Ag / AgCl). They use an electrolytic gel material as a conductor between the skin and the electrode.
Does EEG need gel?
EEG is typically recorded non-invasively with electrodes mounted on the human scalp using conductive electrode gel for optimal impedance and data quality. Some recent work has introduced dry electrode systems that do not require gel, but often introduce new problems such as comfort and signal quality.

How many electrodes are on EEG?
Current EEG systems can have as few as four electrodes [11] or as many as 256 electrodes. Until recently, the use of EEG has been limited to stationary settings (i.e., settings where the subject is seated or prone) because of the susceptibility of EEG electrodes to movement and electromyographic artifacts [12-14].
How much does an EEG cost?
The cost of an EEG Procedure varies. It depends whether you have or don’t have insurance, and sometimes what city you live in. Costs for an EEG Test can range from $200 to $3, 000 or more.
