ADVANCED TMS-EEG INTEGRATION

The passive g.LADYbird TMS-EEG electrodes are specifically designed for combined EEG and TMS recordings. Their ultra-flat design with only 3 mm thickness makes them ideal for TMS-EEG setups, working seamlessly with the g.GAMMAcap³ or double-sided adhesive washers when used with g.GAMMAgel or conductive paste.

Due to their extremely low profile, the TMS coil can be positioned closer to the brain, improving stimulation efficiency and reducing required stimulation intensity. The compact electrode material is significantly smaller than conventional C-shaped TMS electrodes, helping minimize stimulation artifacts.

The passive g.LADYbird electrodes use sintered Ag/AgCl electrode material to ensure stable impedance and optimal EEG signal quality across a wide frequency range from 0 to 10 kHz.

PASSIVE g.LADYBIRD TMS ELECTRODES

The passive g.LADYbird TMS electrodes are optimized for minimal artifact generation and fast EEG signal recovery after TMS stimulation. Without integrated electronics, the electrode design reduces electromagnetic interference and allows stable recordings shortly after the stimulation pulse.

With a thickness of only 3 mm, the electrode enables close positioning of the TMS coil to the scalp. This improves stimulation efficiency and may reduce required stimulation intensity. The electrodes remain securely positioned within the cap, enabling fast preparation, reproducible electrode placement, and simplified cleaning procedures.

CLOSED-LOOP EEG-TMS RECORDINGS

The passive g.LADYbird electrodes integrate seamlessly into closed-loop TMS-EEG paradigms using g.HIamp and g.HIsys Professional. The high signal quality and rapid recovery characteristics support advanced neuroscience applications requiring precise timing and minimal stimulation artifacts.
