I'll do a blog post about our electrodes after our patents are submitted.

We are not using any gel or water. It took us over 6 months of experimenting and re-implementing different papers, before we came across our current design. Which was the result of a fortuitous accident.

If you look at the Muse S headband reviews on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/MUSE-Headband-Overnight-Meditation-Re..., you'll see many people having difficulty with electrodes tearing. I tried a Muse S myself, and quickly saw wear on their electrodes.

The design we're currently using, I've had for over 1 month with no degradation in signal quality - I live next to the ocean, so lots of salt in the air, and I try to treat the electrodes badly. The other bands that we have in use are also maintaining good signal over the few weeks of use.

The formula we're working on with industrial design atm is the balance of comfort, signal quality (maintain connection - as I said, electrodes are now good), and robustness.
