Re: Re:Neuroband, QDS ElectroCap, Electrode Cap, Flextrode or Paste?

[Guest guest]

Hi Ulisses,

I use the Brain Master Atlantis 4x4 , the Brain Master wideband 2E, along

with Brain Inquiry.

The 4x4 has a cable and shorter length 18'' electrodes, while the Brain

Master wideband 2E uses longer 24-30 " " long electrodes.

The type...silver, gold or tin do not seem to make a difference.

What I did notice if I put the longer wires on the 4x4 it does not give

the same reading. When I tried recently on the Othmer new amp

the longer ones worked better when I braided the wires, which is what I

do for the Brain Master 2E. Braiding the wires seem to bring

down the impedance. As for the Brain Inquiry, this has an

active lead and use the snap version.

As for the solution, you need a quality saline solution, such as Bausch

& Lomb, rather than CVS or making your own. I have noticed a

difference there. As for Baby Shampoo I use &

. So, as you gather I noticed difference

too. I found this was true with the other 2 products that use

saline solutions and the length of the wire and type of solution, so it

isn't my product rather than these other issues stated above. As

mentioned in my previous posting, their products work. Why I

developed the Neuroband was because of the specific population I work

with and the other products were uncomfortable to painful to my patients

and it allow more flexibility of placement than pre punctured holes.

Have you tried the other products that use saline? Did find them

better? I always like feedback to make mine better.

Happy Holidays.
