Geodesic Sensor Net Technical Manual page 16

Preface
The GSN is an integral part of a Geodesic EEG System (GES), which is a complete
package for acquiring and working with EEG data. The other parts are the GES
hardware and the Net Station or Neurotravel Win software.
Following are brief descriptions of all the components and the available
documentation, posted as PDF files at www.egi.com/documentation.html:
Hardware related
• The Geodesic Sensor Net is EGI's patented device for
acquiring electrical signals from the human scalp. This
manual, the Geodesic Sensor Net Technical Manual,
provides comprehensive descriptions of all GSN features
and functions.
• GES hardware is all the system hardware except for the
GSN. GES hardware supports the acquisition and
processing of EEG data and includes an amplifier, a data-
acquisition computer, a monitor, and, in most cases, a cart
or travel case. The GES Hardware Technical Manual
provides comprehensive descriptions of all GES hardware
components and features.
• The Geodesic Photogrammetry System (GPS) is EGI's
photogrammetry-based sensor-registration system. The
GPS consists of a geodesic dome structure containing 11
mounted cameras, a steel supporting structure, and the
Photogrammetry software feature in Net Station. The
Geodesic Photogrammetry System Technical Manual
provides comprehensive descriptions of all GPS
components and features.
Software related
• The Net Station Acquisition is the component of the
Net Station software for acquiring EEG, in conjunction
with the dense-array Geodesic Sensor Nets. The
Net Station Acquisition Technical Manual provides
comprehensive descriptions of all Acquisition features and
functions.
