Place the Flow2 headset on the participant

Ensure that lasers are off by using the Turn Lasers OFF button on the Portal Flow tab before picking up the Flow2 headset from the Headset Stand. Lasers should be off when transferring the headset to and from the Stand or a head. 

If a participant has their hair up or in a style, and it is easy to take their hair down, ask them to do so.

For the most comfortable and easy placement of the headset, lift the headset off the Headset Stand by grasping the Ear Covers and hold it directly above the participant's head. Stretch the Ear Covers all the way out as you hold it. 

The participant should look up and use their hands to guide the bottom rim of the Frontal Plate to the top of their eyebrows. Once they’ve made contact, continue to stretch the two Ear Covers out and lay the device down front to back (forehead → top of head → back of head).

Once placed, check the front of the headset to make sure it is in an appropriate position on the forehead. The bottom of the Frontal Plate should touch the top of the participant’s eyebrows, and the Placement Marker (white triangle arrow at the bottom of the Frontal Plate) should be centered between the eyebrows and in line with the bridge of the nose.

Connect the EEG leads to the participant at this time. See Connecting the EEG components.
