NEUROPAWN BIOPOTENTIAL KIT: GETTING STARTED

Headset Setup

1

Choose locations for dry spike electrodes (Fp1/Fp2 recommended)

2

Place 4 comfort electrodes opposite dry spikes for balance

3

Screw all electrodes 5% in (flush with headset frame)

4

Wear the headset and ensure midline is between eyebrows. Tilt so Fp1/Fp2 nodes are just above eyebrows

Proper alignment showing Fp1/Fp2 placement above eyebrows

5

Fasten chin strap snugly

6

Tighten comfort electrodes in star pattern

7

Secure dry spikes in star pattern (ask for help if needed)

8

Apply conductive paste to earlobe and attach clip

Knight Board Setup

1

Connect board to computer using USB-C cable

2

Open EXG Visualizer and select device from dropdown

3

Activate channels one-by-one (wait between each)

4

Toggle all RLD checkboxes

5

Turn OFF unused channels (switches toward headers)

Proper switch positions for unused channels

6

Connect electrodes to positive rail of active channels

7

Attach ear clip to RLD/COMM headers

Signal Check:

• Clench jaw → All channels should spike together synchronously
• Close eyes → Look for alpha waves (slow oscillations)

Board not detected?

• Disable Hardware Integrity protection in Windows
• Ensure Arduino board is properly seated in Knight Board

Noisy data?

• Re-seat electrodes properly
• Ensure unused channels are turned OFF
• Avoid rooms with electronics/AC power
• Check all physical connections
