Quick-30 Dry EEG Headset
The Quick-30 is the latest in mobile EEG technology, offering an unmatched level of usability and signal quality to enable new research applications. With the Quick-30 system, EEG signals can be obtained on most subjects in just under one or two minutes. The headset positions 30 active electrodes in an extended 10-20 array.
High Signal Quality
Measuring EEG signals in real-world environments is tough. Unlike a controlled laboratory environment, electrical noise from power lines, computers and other devices can easily overwhelm a conventional, unshielded EEG system. In addition, subject movements can also easily induce large amplitude electrical and physical noise to overwhelm the tiny EEG signal. To make real-world EEG acquisition, possible, the Quick-20 uses a highly optimized combination of sensors, mechanics and electronics to eliminate unwanted artifacts.
- Combination of active electrodes and active shielding
- Resistant against electrical and movement artifacts
- Real-time measurement of sensor impedance
- Research-quality EEG amplifier: 24-bit ADC, low-noise, high dynamic range inputs with flexible configuration of sample rates, bandwidth and channels
Fast, Easy and Mobile
The Quick-30 is a complete portable EEG system in a wearable, lightweight package. Data can easily be streamed wirelessly via Bluetooth or recorded to a microSD card.
- Low-noise dry electrodes that require minimum prep and no clean-up
- Fully wireless: no cords for data recording or triggering
- Comfortable without any restrictions on subject movement
- Lightweight and wearable
Versatile
Like all Cognionics, the Quick-30 is designed to interface with all of the hardware and software tools necessary for advanced neuroscience research.
- Wireless triggering for precision timing and event marking
- Extension support for additional sensor inputs, including respiration, ECG, GSR and more
- Compatibility with a variety of third party analysis tools including EEGLAB/BCILAB, OpenVibe, Brain Vision Analyzer and more
- Full access to raw data via real-time streaming API
