Hi Moritz,
It looks like your electrodes require a saline
electrolyte, like many electrodes in use today
for neurofeedback.
I'd like to suggest that neurofeedback will
never be popular until better electrodes are
invented. Both types in current use -- saline and
disk -- are too messy and inconvenient. Nobody
except a small number of hard-core hobbyists
will ever be willing to put up with them.
The East3 company, which seems be making the
most sophisticated attempt to date to bring
neurofeedback to the mass market, seems to
agree with this. Their new machine has been
introduced with a new type of electrode (actually,
they call it a "sensor") which is supposed to be
more convenient than disk or saline.
For a picture of East3's sensor, see
http://east3.com/technology_sensors.html
I'd like to propose a challenge for you and other
engineers in the group: invent a new type of
electrode for neurofeedback that requires no
electrolyte.
The goal (an ideal goal) would be a headset
that is as easy to put on as the headset of a
Walkman.
Regards,
Rob
