Is Neurofeedback With An EEG Headset Safe For Kids?

If you are selecting an EEG headset for neurofeedback, it is likely natural to wonder how comfortable they are, especially when using them for a lengthy period. Let's break this down into what one should expect in terms of comfort.

·         Snugly fit

 

An EEG headset from g.tec Medical Engineering is designed to fit snugly on your head while monitoring your brain activity. Many are very lightweight, so you will not feel like you are lugging a brick around on top of your head; the actual feel will depend on the brand and model, though some users have likened it to wearing over-the-ear headphones, where the electrodes press slightly on your scalp.

 

·         Flexible fit for all sizes of the head

 

The EEGSensor for Neurofeedback adjusts for comfort. Most have straps or bands that allow you to secure them around your head without being too tight. Others, though, should check the headset's size range because some headsets are designed to fit smaller or larger heads. An uncomfortable headset tends to lead to longer periods of discomfort than that of poor-quality sound would.

 

·         Wear all-day

While EEG Headsets are fine for shorter sessions, say 30 minutes to an hour, you may experience a few pressure points around your head or near your ears while wearing one for an extended period. Most people complain about mild discomfort after several hours of continuous usage; thus, taking breaks is advisable if you're using it for a prolonged session.
