Hello all,
Curious if anyone has any experience in comparing the OpenBCI products (Like the
Mark IV) compared to the Biosemi Active Two system. Curious what the difference between the two products would be for cortical measures. Currently the OpenBCI products cannot sample as fast as Biosemi, but OpenBCI is fast enough for cortical measures. I
prefer the price point and openness of OpenBCI 🙂
Best,
Rav

I have been using the Biosemi Active Two system with children ages 7-14 or so and with adults for about 10 years. I love it. I only have 32 electrodes, which was an intentional choice. I find the application quite fast and easy – to speed up the process, we use 2 people to apply gel into electrode holders and to plug in electrodes. It takes about 12-15 minutes start to finish. I worked with Neuroscan during the post-doc. It may have changed by now, but the data quality with Biosemi is amazing compared to Neuroscan. Lloyd Smith and his team at CortechSolutions (the Biosemi distributor in the US) have been extremely supportive and respond promptly. Whenever we need to repair electrodes, we get them back within a week or so. Lloyd is extremely knowledgeable and was able to guide us through unexpected issues when the did arise.
I will mention a couple of things to consider:
Good luck with your lab set up!

On Behalf Of Carlos Benitez-Barrera
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):
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!
Thank you in advance for your taking your time to reply!
Sincerely, Carlos
