# What's in the box

The Kernel Flow Storage Case contains the Flow headset, Headset Stand, and all the required accessories, including the Flow Power/Data Cable, all other necessary cables, EEG electrodes and external leads, and a set of placeholder modules for Studies involving a subset of active modules. A [**Sync Accessory Box**](/docs/using-the-sync-accessory-box) to link external devices is included if purchased.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c97072d7-dbc3-41f6-b55e-b62dbde0527b/Images/Documentation/image-1722534052019.png)

NOTE:

A laptop or desktop computer is necessary to operate Flow. Kernel provides the software needed for any computer to interface with the Flow headset. See [Installing the Acquisition Driver](/v1/docs/downloading-kortex).

The Flow case also serves as an ideal storage container for your headset when not in active use. The included Headset Stand is designed to ensure the headset can be stowed in a safe, consistent manner to protect it from damage, as well as prevent it from gathering dust or other contamination.
