My skin itches when using the PlatoWork headset
This feeling is quite normal and caused by personal levels of skin sensitivity. If you experience
an itching sensation while running a session, try to lower the intensity or add more water to
the sponges. You can also experiment with lower saltiness/salinity in the saltwater, as
described under

. Please note that your skin will most likely adjust to this
sensation the more you use the headset, and most users don’t even notice this after getting
familiar with the headset.
I wear glasses - can I use PlatoWork?
PlatoWork is fixed just above the ears and can be worn with most types of glasses.
What if I have thick hair?
Thick or coarse hair can be a challenge but is not impossible to maintain sufficient conductivity.
The problem is often biggest for the electrode at the back of the headset. Usually, the problem can
be solved by adding additional saltwater to the sponges and parting the hair to allow the sponge to
have maximum contact with the scalp. If problems persist, try dampening the hair underneath the
electrode, to ensure contact between the sponge and the scalp.
