Does X-trodes really measure brain activity?

Yes! X-trodes offers three EEG montages designed to measure brain activity, depending on electrode patch placement:

  1. xtr EEG16 – Captures broad cortical activity from the frontal and temporal lobes.

  • Electrodes: 4 on the forehead, 5 around each ear, and 2 EOG channels for eye movement tracking.

  • Ground: Bridge of the nose.

  1. xtr EEG12 – Optimized for everyday use, minimizing electrodes while keeping the face clear.

  • Electrodes: 2 on the forehead, 4 around each ear.

  • Ground: Back of the neck.

  1. xtr EXG2 – The most compact montage for flexible placement.

  • Electrodes: 2 electrodes with a ground in between.

  • For EEG use: Place the patch on the forehead.
