ProComp 2 Quick Start and User s Guide 11 Since each sensor draws a small amount of power from the batteries when connected to the ProComp 2 it is better to connect only the sensors that are going to be used for a session before you start recording this will ensure maximal battery life Most Thought Technology software applications will display a battery power indicator we recommend that you replace the battery as soon as this indicator falls below about 50 of the battery power Sensor Inputs In order to record a given physiological signal the proper type of sensor must be connected to one of the ProComp 2 s front panel inputs The device is able to monitor two physiological signals simultaneously Sensors can be connected to inputs A and B A and D C and B or C and D but not from A and C or B and D Trying to connect sensors in inputs A and C or B and D can damage the ProComp 2 since these connectors have been purposely placed too close together to allow it Possible sensor types include Electroencephalography EEG Electrocardiography EKG Electromyography EMG Respiration waveform Skin Temperature Blood Volume Pulse waveform Skin Conductance Third party through the Voltage Isolator Force sensor adapter Goniometer adapter Sensor Input configurations e Input A Fast Input Samples data at 256 samples per second Input A already incorporates an EEG sensor in its circuitry and so it is dedicated to EEG Only an EEG exte

29. tervention For most biofeedback applications simply cleaning the skin with a bit of cotton and rubbing alcohol is sufficient to ensure good sensor readings For EEG biofeedback and muscle function assessments using EMG we recommend that you use abrasive paste and conductive gel Since body hair can form an insulated layer between the skin and the electrode surface be careful not to place the electrodes over hairy areas In some rare cases shaving may be required Triodes and extender cables The EMG sensor can be used with a Triode electrode snapped onto the sensor head or with Single electrodes individually snapped onto each of the three leads of an extender cable If you have to alternate between the two methods make sure to leave only one set of electrodes connected to the sensor at any one time Forgetting to remove the unused electrodes could degrade the quality of the recorded signal because of the extra susceptibility to noise Equipment storage As a general rule we recommend that you remove any electrode from the sensor heads and extender cable leads when you are done using your equipment Many electrodes are coated with a very conductive substance that can cause the sensor s metal parts to corrode if they are left in contact with it for long periods of time Also please be careful when unsnapping electrodes not to damage the wires Avoid twisting and pulling on the wires by holding the sensor head or the extender cable s ro
