CH2 problem and AE-Hair

[nugroho.budi]

Hi,
I purchased an EEG-SMT, 1 PE and 4 AE from olimex couple weeks ago.
after strugling with driver problem and Microsoft Ball Point Mouse.

now, I am struggling with another problem.
First,
I plug in DRL and hold it with my hand, attach the AE CH1+ and AE CH1- my right side temple and left side temple, and then attache AE CH2+ and AE CH- to my forehead.
using Brain Bay: the signal from CH2 is flat kind of show that didnt get any reading from the forehead. I have tried to switch the electrodes and get the same result. Did I do something wrong or my CH2 is kind of broken?

Screenshots from BrainBay:

Second problem is when i try to put the electrodes in my Ocipital lobe, O1 or O2(SSVEP recording method) I get very noisy signal (i forget to take a screenshot for this). Is it because of the hair?

thank you!
English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.

Hello,

Can you confirm the second channel is properly configured in Brain Bay? Also what happens if you swap the positions of the electrodes on your head - if channel two is working properly it should show relatively the same as what channel one showed before the position swap? Can you test with Electric Guru as well (https://www.olimex.com/Products/EEG/OpenEEG/EEG-SMT/resources/ElecGuru40.zip)?

Second problem is when i try to put the electrodes in my Ocipital lobe, O1 or O2(SSVEP recording method) I get very noisy signal (i forget to take a screenshot for this). Is it because of the hair?

This might be either from a bad contact with the skin of the electrodes in channel two; or from bad contact of the passive DRL electrode with the skin.
