Sponge EEG is equivalent regarding signal quality, but faster than routine EEG.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Emergency diagnostics, such as acquisition of an electroencephalogram (EEG), are of great diagnostic importance, but there is often a lack of experienced personnel. Wet active electrode sponge-based electroencephalogram (sp-EEG) systems can be applied rapidly and by inexperienced personnel. This makes them an attractive alternative to routine EEG (r-EEG) systems in these settings. Here, we examined the feasibility and signal quality of sp-EEG compared to r-EEG.

Methods

In this case-control, single-blind, non-randomized study, EEG recordings using a sp- and a r-EEG system were performed in 18 individuals with a variety of epileptiform discharges and 11 healthy control subjects. The time was stopped until all electrodes in both systems displayed adequate skin-electro
