[Eeglablist] Dealing with braids or cornrows

[Kelly Buchanan]

I don't have personal experience recording on people with cornrows,
but I can imagine the challenges. How many electrodes will you be
using? If it's 16 or less it might be feasible to put pads in under
the cap. My lab did some recordings on patients who had decompressive
craniectomies, and they have a dent in their skull. To record from
this area, we used donut-shaped pads under the cap. They are sold by
EEG supply companies. You fill the donut hole with electrode gel.
Definitely messier cleanup though.
