[Eeglablist] Electrolyte gel question

[Tarik S Bel-Bahar]

Hello Pamela, it sounds like there used to be no bubbles! Try moving to
another gel from another manufacturer, unless the eeg manufactuer has
specified that the bubble gel is the only one that should be used with
their EEG system/trodes. I've not seen bubbles in most gels. try contacting
other RAs or labs. Try Elefix, Redux used with EGI systems. We also like
Abralyte distributed by brain products with "grit" in it that helps with
reducing impedances, it might be manufactured by easycap. All gels you try
will likely wash out of your caps/trodes easily. Although unlikely, there
may be some bits in your caps/trodes that don't like other gels besides the
one you have. all the best.
