EMOTIV EPOC USER MANUAL | BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE TECHNOLOGY
After first use, the pads should be rewet the next time EPOC is used by using a dropper to wet the
sensors and hydrator pad again. The sensors should be removed from arms after use and stored
in the hydrator unit to keep the sensors moist for subsequent use.
Note on saline solution
: When the initially provided saline solution has been exhausted,
additional saline should be purchased from a local drug store. We recommend the use of Multi-
purpose Contact Lens Solution if possible, but do not use Contact Lens Cleaning or Sterilizing
Solutions. Multi-purpose Solution contains non-allergenic anti-microbial agents which help to keep
your sensors fresh and prevent transfer of microbes between users. Normal saline between 0.7%
and 4% w-w sodium chloride may also be used, but we recommend adding a small quantity (no
more than 4% by volume) of a household disinfectant such as 70% iso-propyl alcohol.
