BrainCaps
Gel-based passive electrode system for high-quality EEG recordings in the lab environment
Equipped with extremely robust and flat Ag/AgCl electrodes
Fully customizable and specific models for mobile EEG, TMS, MEG, fMRI and Sleep applications available
Cap sizes range from infants to adults; available channel counts: 8 – 256
General notes
- Max./Min. channel counts depend on amplifier system and cap size.
- Different cap types (SubInion vs. Subtemporal), cap cuts (Caucasian vs. Asian) and cap fabrics (high comfort vs. high precision) are available.
BrainCaps: High participant comfort and fast skin preparation
Over the course of our time spent in the neurophysiology research market, we at Brain Products have endeavored to listen very carefully to our customers’ views and requests. The BrainCaps are a result of this policy. They have been on the market for more than 15 years, and – because they are constantly further developed – are still considered as one of the go-to solutions for high-quality EEG data recordings with passive, gel-based electrodes.
- BrainCaps are fully customizable caps with up to 256 channels and high-quality Ag/AgCl sensors.
- Electrodes are fixed to the cap and extremely flat which makes this cap very comfortable for the participant (e.g. avoiding excessive pressure onto the scalp, even in sleep studies during which the participant lies on the electrodes.).
- Specially designed electrodes for the co-registration of EEG with fMRI (BrainCap MR), TMS (BrainCap TMS) and MEG (BrainCap MEG) are available (see “Available options” for more details).
- BrainCaps are extremely robust, as well as easy and fast to clean.
BrainCap Standard
BrainCap TMS for EEG-TMS co-registrations
-
- Electrode cap with built-in passive Multitrodes that have sintered Ag/AgCl sensors and a large central opening.
- Every electrode can be freely rotated, thus always allowing the best cable geometry for any stimulation point, a crucial feature for successful EEG recordings during TMS stimulation. In fact, it has been proved that a cleaner signal can be recorded by orienting the cables away from the coil.
- A special version particularly suitable for working with a large number of channels or with an identical TMS stimulation point is also available upon request.
- Compatible amplifier families: actiCHamp, BrainAmp
- Available channel counts: 32 – 256
- Size range: 34 – 64 cm head circumference (limited size range may apply to higher channel counts)
BrainCap MEG for EEG-MEG co-registrations
-
- Electrode cap with built-in passive Multitrodes that have sintered Ag/AgCl sensors and a large central opening.
- Compatible amplifier family: BrainAmp
- Available channel counts: 32 – 128
- Size range: 34 – 64 cm head circumference (limited size range may apply to higher channel counts)
LiveCap (BrainCap for LiveAmp)
-
- Electrode cap with built-in passive Multitrodes that have sintered Ag/AgCl sensors and a large central opening.
- Dedicated amplifier compartment for clean cable management
- Compatible amplifier family: LiveAmp
- Available channel counts: 8 – 64
- Size range: 34 – 64 cm head circumference (limited size range may apply to higher channel counts)
BrainCap Sleep
-
- Electrode cap with layout according to the AASM guideline standards
- Central cable tree exit point for little interference when head rests on a pillow
- Clean and tight cable routing
- Compatible amplifier families: actiCHamp Plus, LiveAmp, BrainAmp, BrainAmp MR
- Available channel counts: from 15 to 64 (including ECG, EOG, EMG depending on specific model)
- Size range: 34 – 64 cm head circumference (limited size range may apply to higher channel counts)
