This study compares a tripolar concentric ring electrode EEG system with conventional disk electrodes for detecting changes in the alpha rhythm associated with opening and closing the eyes.

In a preliminary study, both electrode systems detected the expected reduction in alpha power when participants opened their eyes, with a larger average reduction measured using the tripolar EEG system. The findings explore the potential of tripolar electrodes for detecting dynamic changes in brain rhythms relevant to clinical and neurofeedback applications.
