actiCAP - Electroencephalography caps

actiCAP is a ground-breaking development aimed at raising EEG and ERP research to the next level. It 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 electrode achieves.

actiCAP at a glance

connect actiCAP to nearly any existing research EEG amplifier system (i.e. all Brain Products amplifiers as well as most of our competitors')

reduce your preparation time e.g. for 64 channels down to less than 10 minutes.

no need to exchange your existing recording system when switching from passive to active electrodes; simply keep the existing hard- and software, that you are used to

Some more actiCAP features

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 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.

The SuperVisc gel, included in the "Starter Set", makes recordings with actiCAP even more efficient.

actiCAP comes along with the latest version of our actiCAP ControlSoftware.
