very cool video! quick question... with such large electrodes, how perfectly do we have to place them for the desired effect? also, why such huge electrodes?
Less than 10% the radius of the electrode should not have a large effect on its current distribution in the brain. Trying to be within 1 cm is good. The cases do make the electrode look much bigger, but the actual electrode (the grey pads) are the average size used in most research studies with conventional research electrodes. However, we are introducing a new smaller electrode in 2023.
Will this really go through your hair. I know you wet it with the saline but I hope it goes through and still works. We will see. I just got mine today and have experience with micro current machine. I hope this works. I’ll update in a bit.
Awesome! Yes, different hairstyles present different unique challenges, but the general rules of thumb are the same: soak the scalp and hair with saline, move as much hair out of the way as possible, and electrodes need to press up against the scalp. Please reach out to us on our website or Facebook with any feedback. We'd love to chat.
It's not very clear how the electrodes should be assembled for tACS... Do we need to have the case + the sponge OR it's fine to just use the electrodes? In general, a bit more material on tACS would be very useful.
Hello! The electrode assembly for tDCS and tACS are the same. tACS montages have different electrode placements. We have a guide on our website. Please reach out to us on our website or Facebook with any feedback. We'd love to chat.
Great question! You want to clear as much hair as possible under the electrodes. Next, you want to wet the hair with saline. Last, you want to make sure the electrodes are pressed firmly against the scalp with a soaked saline sponge. The fluids will help get current from the black pads to the scalp through the hair.

A fair point. This video covers the traditional 10-20 EEG electrode locations. We will update the video title. For placement, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/Oxz6oa1JM7I/v-deo.htmlsi=DmaPGg83OdpnCthg. It shows you how to place a training montage at Fp1/2. Once you understand how to place one montage, you can use our guide to visualize where to place other montages. neuromyst.com/montage-guide/ Thanks!

How often should I repeat this?
We have a montage guide on our website. This video is for people that want to understand better the names and how they are organized.

If it transmits through a salty wet sponge, would it not transmit through my salty wet hair?
I reckon I would need to have a shaved head to get the most expansive usage of this tool huh?
What if I, like the vast majority of human beings, have hair on my head?

Separate hair from the roots, reveal skin. That's it. use clips and bands for hair if needed
This doesn't tell you how to place the electrodes. It just tells you where to put them. HOW do you place them on the head?
