How do these get secured to the head? Do you use a headband of some sort? I
am constantly looking for a better electrode solution, because I am not happy
with what I am using. Currently I have the standard cup electrodes that came
with the ProComp as well as a set of flextrodes (converted with an adapter
cable so that I can plug them into the ProComp), but am not really happy with
either. I long for the day of dry electrodes.
Before I got the flextrodes, I rigged some velcro straps to use with the
standard cup 'trodes, which worked ok, but apparently weakened the solder of a
couple of the electrodes due to stress from the velcro arrangement. That was a
costly mistake since these were the electrodes that specifically came with the
ProComp. I was hoping for something easier with the flextrodes, but so far
have found them about the same in terms of time for setup and clean-up.
Do you have a feel for how your arrangement compares to something like the
BrainMaster's flextrodes?
Dave.
