EEG recording systems are crucial for capturing brain activity. They consist of , amplifiers, filters, and digital converters that work together to collect and process neural signals. Understanding these components is key to obtaining high-quality EEG data for brain-computer interfaces.
Proper electrode placement and skin preparation are essential for accurate EEG recordings. The standardizes electrode positions, while careful skin prep and impedance checks ensure good signal quality. These practices form the foundation for reliable BCI data collection.

Top images from around the web for Components of EEG recording systems
Calibration unit verifies system accuracy and consistency
Electrode cap or net holds multiple electrodes in standardized positions
Conductive gel or paste improves electrical conductivity between electrodes and scalp
International 10-20 electrode placement
Standardized method ensures reproducibility across subjects and studies
Naming convention uses letters for brain regions (F: Frontal, T: Temporal, C: Central, P: Parietal, O: Occipital) even numbers for right hemisphere, odd for left, "z" for midline
Measurement technique based on skull landmarks (nasion, inion, preauricular points) distances between electrodes are 10% or 20% of total front-back or left-right distance
