Thread-topic: EEG purchase

Dear Auditory List,

I am planning on purchasing an EEG system for my new lab at UW-Madison, USA. I have been in contact with several EEG providers, and I’m still undecisive on which system would be best for my lab. I’m familiar with Neuroscan and EGI, but I’m actually leaning towards Biosemi or Brain Products (Brain and Vision in the US). I run simple auditory paradigms with children (ages 3 to 14) and adults. The main characteristics that I’m looking for are (not necessarily in order):

Ease of use
Prep cap time (important to minimize with children)
Customer support
Signal quality

I’m shooting for a 64-channel system. Also, I’m still hesitating between saline caps or gel caps. I heard that the Biosemi caps despite of being gel based are very fast to get going.

Anyway, I’m just looking for some advice from any of you working with these systems. Any experiences or recommendations will help!
