Tips for Achieving Good Signal Quality with Long or Thick Hair (EPOC X & Flex Saline)
1. Position the Sensors Properly
Gently work the sensors through the hair by wiggling them back and forth, as well as side to side.
If possible, part or reposition the hair away from sensor locations before fitting the cap.
2. Apply Fluid Gradually
Add more saline solution through the rear port of the sensor.
The sensors should be sufficiently wet, and the hair directly underneath should be slightly damp after removing the headset.
Apply fluid slowly to prevent excess moisture from spreading to the cap or surrounding hair, as this may cause signal interference by connecting adjacent sensors.
3. Pre-Soak Felt Pads
Remove all felt pads and soak them in saline before reattaching them to the headset.
Shake off excess liquid and gently pinch out excess fluid if they are dripping. Pads should be damp but not overly wet, as excess liquid can seep into the cap.
4. Improve Contact Quality
After fitting the sensors, if you still notice poor signal quality, press firmly on the back of the sensor (towards the scalp) for five seconds.
This helps push fluid into the hair gap, improving contact.
Wait 10 seconds to allow the change to reflect in the signal quality.
By following these steps, you can maximize signal quality and ensure accurate EEG readings even with long or thick hair.
