A passive, drop-in electrode that makes reliable scalp contact through afro-textured, coily and curly hair. No modification, no extended setup.
Standard cup and disc electrodes cannot reach the scalp through thick, curly or afro-textured hair. Participants are excluded, data is lost, and whole populations go unstudied.
of researchers hit this, and leading manufacturers, clinics and research groups agree it is a design problem, not a limit of the science.
It behaves like the cup and disc electrodes you already use and connects to your existing amplifier. The difference is that it actually reaches the scalp.
Reliable scalp contact across straight, wavy, curly, coily and afro-textured hair, with no preparation.
1.5 mm DIN TP (DIN42802), compatible with BrainProducts, g.tec, BioSemi, ANT Neuro and more.
Built to the requirements of academic research, clinical EEG and consumer BCI.
Become an early adopter. Put Synaptive electrodes on real participants and help validate them across hair types, with units shipping from late 2026.
Early access →Register a letter of interest to purchase for clinical use, or to license the technology as an OEM, once early-adopter validation is complete.
