Overview of EEG and Its Applications
Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical activity in the brain, useful for diagnosing brain disorders like epilepsy, brain tumors, head injuries, and sleep disorders. EEGs are safe and painless, also used to confirm brain death or monitor anesthesia levels.

10-20 International System for EEG
The 10-20 International System standardizes EEG electrode placement on the scalp, ensuring reproducibility and comparability of studies. It has been extended to higher density settings like 10/10 and 10/5 systems for detailed brain mapping.

EEG Headcaps and Electrodes
BIONEN offers prewired headcaps that simplify electrode placement according to the 10-20 system. These customizable headcaps are designed for quick setup and stability, available in various sizes for different patient groups.

Electrode Types and Features
BIONEN provides various electrode shapes, including cylindric, flat, pin, and MRI-compatible electrodes, designed for specific applications. Made from materials like silver/silver chloride, they ensure high signal quality.

Special Applications and Accessories
EEG headcaps can be used with techniques like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and EEG-fMRI for advanced studies. BIONEN also offers accessories like chin straps and thoracic belts.

Connector Compatibility
BIONEN headcaps are compatible with various EEG instruments, reducing preparation time and costs. Universal headcaps adapt to multiple systems through adapter cables.

Conclusion
BIONEN's EEG solutions offer comprehensive tools for neurophysiological diagnostics, providing flexibility, ease of use, and high-quality data acquisition for clinical and research applications.

Electromyography (EMG) Overview
EMG involves inserting a needle electrode into muscle tissue to assess muscle and nerve health. Normal muscles produce specific electrical sounds upon needle insertion, with abnormal activity indicating nerve or muscle damage.

BIONEN Needle Electrodes
These electrodes are designed for high reliability and reduced pain during EMG procedures.

Surface Electrodes
Designed for selective stimulation of intraepidermal nociceptive fibers, these electrodes are noninvasive, safe, and allow for numerous stimuli without cross-contamination.

Stimulating & Recording Electrodes
Available in various configurations, including ring electrodes, hand-held bipolar and monopolar stimulating probes, and disposable electrodes.

Sleep Supplies
Polysomnography (PSG) diagnoses sleep disorders by monitoring body functions during sleep, including EEG, EOG, EMG, and ECG.

Breath Sensors
Thermistor and thermocouple sensors provide accurate respiration airflow signals for adults, pediatrics, and newborns.

Effort Sensors
Piezo film and crystal sensors offer robust signals for monitoring respiration movement.

Inductive Bands
Available in reusable and disposable forms for monitoring thorax and abdomen movements.

Snoring Sensors
Piezo and dynamic sensors monitor respiratory sounds and snoring.

Gels & Pastes
Essential for neurodiagnostic exams, including adhesive and conductive pastes and gels, and abrasive gels for skin preparation.

Pressure Biofeedback
Used for pelvic-perineum muscle rehabilitation, helping patients control involuntary functions through visual feedback.

Plug Connectors
Various plug connectors are available for different electrode and sensor configurations.

NEEDLE ELECTRODES NEEDLE ELECTRODES Nowadays, there are two kinds of EMG in widespread use: needle EMG (intramuscular) and surface EMG. To perform intramuscular EMG, a needle electrode is inserted through the skin into the muscle tissue. The insertion activity provides valuable information about the state of the muscle and its innervating nerve. Normal muscles at rest make certain, normal electrical sounds when the needle is inserted into them. Then the electrical activity when the muscle is at rest is studied. Abnormal spontaneous activity may indicate some nerve and/or muscle damage. The patient...
