actiCAP

actiCAP* - The third generation of active electrodes

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.
