Hello,
Thank you for your interest in participating with your child in our research.
Research in our laboratory involves performing computer tasks and playing age-appropriate games. In some of the games, we place a cap of electrodes on the participant's head.
These electrodes allow brain waves to be recorded, similar to the process of a standard EEG test. However, unlike the standard EEG procedure, in which each electrode is attached to the scalp using an adhesive paste, we use a method specifically adapted for working with children, in which the process of placing the electrodes is very short and no materials are applied to the scalp.
In our laboratory, the electrodes are placed on the head like a swimming cap.
The electrodes are immersed in salt water.
When the “cap” is removed from the subject’s head, the moisture from the scalp can simply be wiped off with a towel.
The method has been tested extensively on children and infants and does not cause any discomfort.
As mentioned, the electrodes are used for recording purposes only. This operation is not at all invasive and cannot endanger the subject in any way.
