Non-restraining EEG radiotelemetry is a valuable methodological approach to record in vivo long-term electroencephalograms from freely moving rodents. This detailed protocol describes stereotaxic epidural and deep intracerebral electrode placement in different brain regions in order to obtain reliable recordings of CNS rhythmicity and CNS related behavioral stages.

EEG is a non-invasive technique that can measure brain activity. The neural activity generates electrical signals that are recorded by EEG electrodes placed on the scalp. When an individual is engaged in performing a cognitive task, brain activity changes and these changes can be recorded on the EEG graph. Therefore, it is a powerful tool for cognitive scientist aiming to better understand the neural correlates associated with different aspects of cognition, which will ultimately help them...

Blood pressure monitoring is one of the essential vital signs, and for a majority of patients, measuring it utilizing non-invasive techniques provides accurate values. However, there are situations in which the blood pressure requires more exact, specific, and reliable measurements.
FAQs
The 10–20 system converts anatomical landmarks into reproducible electrode locations by using proportional, rather than fixed, distances across the scalp. This approach accommodates differences in head size while preserving corresponding positions between individuals. Consequently, activity recorded from a named electrode location can be compared more meaningfully across participants and across repeated recording sessions.
Conductive gel reduces skin impedance at the electrode contact, helping the recording system detect cerebral electrical signals more effectively. Poor attention to impedance can weaken or degrade the measured signal. Applying the gel consistently is therefore an important quality-control step before interpreting differences in neural activity between conditions, participants, or recording sessions.
Reference and ground electrodes help separate cerebral signals from environmental noise, which can otherwise complicate interpretation of the recording. Their inclusion provides the measurement with the signal context needed to distinguish brain-related electrical activity from unwanted interference. Correctly incorporating both electrode types therefore supports cleaner data for biological studies and clinical investigations.
Accurate placement helps ensure that differences between recordings reflect changes in neural activity rather than changes in sensor location. Standardized positions also make results more comparable across participants and sessions. This consistency is especially important when examining patterns associated with sleep, sensory processing, cognition, epilepsy, brain development, or other changes in neural function.
A basic workflow begins by identifying the relevant anatomical landmarks, then locating sensor positions through the proportional distances specified by the 10–20 system. Conductive gel is used at the contacts to reduce skin impedance, and reference and ground electrodes are included to help distinguish cerebral signals from environmental noise before recording begins.
This approach supports studies that measure changes in neural activity during sleep, sensory processing, and cognition, as well as investigations of epilepsy and brain development. Because standardized placement improves comparability, it can also support repeated recordings and comparisons among participants, helping researchers and clinicians examine biological patterns across different conditions and populations.
