[Eeglablist] Old EGI system

[K Jeffrey Eriksen]

Heather,

In general I think visual inspection should be sufficient. I have two other suggestions:


1.       Borrow a new (or trusted) Net from someone in another lab and run a short EEG on a single subject with each Net for comparison. Besides visual comparison you could look at impedances.

2.       Perhaps the EGI tool for measuring salt bridges could help, or you could write your own Matlab code to perform cross-channel correlations to look for odd behavior

Good luck with it,
-Jeff Eriksen

Subject: [Eeglablist] Old EGI system

We just inherited a barely used EGI system, purchased circa 2009. When we chatted with an EGI rep, he said we'd probably want to send in all of the EEG nets for refurbishment, which of course comes with a price tag. Before we send them in, I'd like to run a few trial sessions and see how they behave. I can spot really terrible channels by eye, but I'm wondering if there are small-to-medium problems that could have developed with the nets (or any EEG caps in general), which wouldn't show up just by watching the data scroll by, that I should be looking out for?

Thanks!
Heather
