can comb electrodes be used with snap connector cables?

Due to the lack of elaboration in the respective pages, I had a doubt I wanted to be certain about, before buying the comb electrodes.



Also, I wanted to know the impedance of said electrodes, as I failed to find it in the description.

As an extension, are THESE electrodes compatible with the mentioned snap cables? [Cognionics flex dry electrodes]

Thanks

    Siddhant, hi.

    No, the comb electrodes mate with side connector cables, such as those included in the headset kit. However you can also buy combs and side connector cables from FRI,


    But note, the FRI cables generally come with touchproof connectors. So you can use the OpenBCI touchproof adapter for those.

    Impedance of any electrode depends on if you are using it dry or with gel / paste. Impedance can be measured with the OpenBCI_GUI after you are hooked up. 

    Cognionics dry flex combs DO use snap connectors. I'm not sure if they exactly mate with the ECG snaps. You might inquire at Cognionics.

    Regards,
