Textured Hair EEGs: Accessibility for All Hair Types

Getting an EEG shouldn’t be a hassle – no matter your hairstyle. For most patients, an EEG test typically requires no special preparation. However, for individuals with curly hair, textured hair or specific hairstyles, such as braids, dreadlocks, cornrows, twists, hair extensions or coily/kinky curly hair, the setup process can be more challenging than it needs to be. Thanks to innovative technology by Zeto, there’s a solution that makes textured hair EEG accessible and efficient for everyone.

Understanding Hair Types

Before addressing the challenges and solutions, it’s important to understand that hair types vary widely based on texture and curl patterns. The commonly recognized Andre Walker Hair Typing System classifies hair into four main types:

Andre Walker Hair Typing System

Type 3 and Type 4 hair, in particular, tend to be thicker, curlier, or kinkier, which can present unique challenges for textured hair EEG setups. Additionally, protective hairstyles such as braids, cornrows, and dreadlocks further complicate traditional EEG setups. For many patients, even getting a test can be difficult or uncomfortable, creating unnecessary barriers to essential healthcare.

EEG and Hair Diversity: The Urgent Need for Inclusive Solutions

For decades, EEG technology has not been inclusive of everyone. Traditional EEG electrodes are designed to sit flat on the scalp, which is especially challenging for people with thick, curly hair or dreadlocks. The process can become even more difficult, requiring technologists to ask patients to alter or remove their hairstyle to achieve quality EEG data.

Imagine being told that you need to take down intricate braids or cut your dreadlocks – hairstyles often deeply tied to culture, identity, and personal expression – just to undergo an EEG. What may seem like a minor inconvenience to some can become a major obstacle to others, delaying critical diagnostic tests and adding stress to an already daunting medical experience.

This issue has disproportionately impacted patients, whose natural hair types and protective hairstyles are often incompatible with the rigid requirements of traditional EEG technology. As a result, many patients have encountered frustrating barriers to accessing the care they need.

Zeto Offers EEGs That Work for All Hair Types

The good news is that Zeto EEG technology is removing these barriers. Zeto’s wireless EEG headsets are designed to accommodate all hair types, from straight and wavy to curly and coily, including protective styles like dreadlocks, cornrows, and braids.

Unlike traditional EEG systems, Zeto headsets do not require the use of abrasive pastes or applications of messy electrolytes to obtain accurate readings. Instead, it sits comfortably on the head, regardless of hair volume, texture, or style. This ensures that patients with textured hair or complex hairstyles no longer need to worry about altering their hair for the test.

With Zeto, EEGs are no longer a stressful ordeal but a straightforward, accessible solution for all patients.

The photos  illustrate the flexibility of dry electrodes used in the Zeto EEG system. Any of the three bristles touching the skin would provide sufficient skin-to-electrode contact for stable signal recording.

Zeto’s Unique Electrodes

Zeto’s electrodes are designed to work with a wide variety of hair types and densities. Flat electrodes are ideal for areas without hair, such as the forehead. Taller electrodes with legs are designed to navigate through thicker hair, allowing for easy placement on the scalp, even with complex hairstyles.

Zeto’s patented electrode tips seamlessly move through hair and braids without leaving behind any sticky residue. The electrodes are capable of moving past braids, cornrows, twists, or dreadlocks up to 1 inch thick, and can even work with thicker hair bundles, depending on the style.

Zeto offers EEG solution for protective hairstyles

Convenient for EEG Technologists

Zeto makes life easier for EEG technicians by eliminating time-consuming skin preparation and messy gels. The setup is quick and efficient, even for patients with type 4 kinky/coily hair, taking just 5-10 minutes at most. Zeto’s headsets come with handy light-based signal quality indicators  built into each electrode that lets users know when the electrodes have a good connection (green light) or if they need a little adjustment (Red, orange, or yellow ). The adjustment is made by rotating and repositioning the electrode, to make sure they’re properly touching the scalp.

Comfortable for Patients

Zeto provides a significantly better EEG experience for patients. The setup is faster and more comfortable, with no sticky gels or adhesives to wash out afterward. There’s no need for special preparation or skin abrasion, which minimizes the risk of irritation or discomfort. Additionally, Zeto’s electrodes are single-use, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination. Patients enjoy a hassle-free experience with precise and reliable results, all without being asked to change or remove their hairstyle.

Many patients have shared that after their Zeto EEG test, they could go about their day as planned, without the need to wash or restyle their hair.

Remaining Limitations

While Zeto’s EEG technology works with most hairstyles, blocking the electrode tips from contacting the scalp may still prevent accurate recordings. However, weaves or sew-ins that allow scalp contact are generally not an issue for Zeto’s electrodes.

EEGs should be accessible to everyone, regardless of hairstyle. Zeto is proud to offer a solution that makes brain monitoring more inclusive, comfortable, and efficient. By offering innovative EEG headsets with unique electrodes, Zeto ensures that no patient is left behind due to their hair type or style.

From WR19 to Zeto ONE: Inclusivity and Reliability Across 90,000 Studies

Zeto has two innovative EEG headsets: the WR19 for EEG studies up to 6 hours and the Zeto ONE for continuous  monitoring for 24+ hours. Both headsets use the same electrode technology and work seamlessly with textured hairstyles, ensuring reliable and high-quality EEG recordings.

Zeto EEG headsets, WR19 and Zeto ONE, offer EEG solutions for all hair types.


Zeto’s commitment to accommodating various hair types and styles began with the clearance of our first-generation WR19 device in 2018. From the outset, the WR19 was capable of recording EEGs on patients with diverse hairstyles and hair types without requiring additional effort or compromising signal quality. This dedication to inclusivity and performance was carried forward into the design of our next-generation device, the Zeto ONE EEG system, launched in 2024. 

Out of the 90,000 EEGs conducted using Zeto’s EEG system across over 200 healthcare facilities in the U.S., there has not been a single complaint or failure related to hair type.

Seizure Detection vs Seizure Burden

Seizure detection and seizure burden are two critical but distinct concepts in epilepsy management. Seizure detection focuses on the immediate identification and recognition of individual seizure events using technologies such as EEG monitoring systems, which can pinpoint abnormal brain activity in near real-time. This allows for timely intervention and management during an episode. On the other hand, seizure burden refers to the cumulative impact of seizures over time, encompassing the frequency, duration, and severity of the episodes. While seizure detection aims to identify seizures as they happen, seizure burden assesses the broader, ongoing effects of the condition. 

Zeto offers an FDA-cleared seizure detection tool compared to competitors that only perform seizure burden.

AI-enabled Notifications for Seizure

AI-enabled notifications provide near real-time notifications enhancing timely intervention and patient management.

EEG in the ICU: Brain Monitoring in Critical Care Settings and Emergency Departments

EEG in the ICU offers unparalleled insight into the neurological status of patients. Facilitating ease of use is a cornerstone of making sure this vital marker is not overlooked.

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, where every moment can be crucial, monitoring a patient’s neurological status is often overlooked in emergency situations. However, research findings suggest that integrating EEG (electroencephalogram) monitoring into critical healthcare settings can have profound benefits, especially for patients requiring prompt neurological evaluation

EEG in the ICU

In Intensive Care Units (ICUs), where vigilant monitoring of patient health is crucial, traditional focus areas like heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are routinely scrutinized. EEG monitoring in the ICU is often used for continuous, long-term monitoring of brain activity in critically ill patients. It’s particularly crucial for detecting non-convulsive seizures, assessing the depth of coma, and monitoring for changes in brain function in patients with severe brain injuries, stroke, or those at risk of neurological deterioration. The second biggest neurological emergency after stroke is Status Epilepticus, defined as “A seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, or having more than 1 seizure within a 5 minute period, without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes is called status epilepticus. This is a medical emergency that may lead to permanent brain damage or death.” For more info see here. 

Unfortunately, the monitoring of brain activity doesn’t receive the same level of attention. This is despite various critical care and neurophysiology societies providing guidelines for EEG indications in the ICU. This oversight can be critical, especially since conditions like non-convulsive seizures can go unnoticed without proper EEG monitoring. Research indicates that timely access to EEG monitoring is vital for effective patient management, and any delays can have significant impacts, not just on patient outcomes but also on hospital operational efficiencies.

Challenges in the ICU

The Neurocritical Care Society guidelines advise that patients suspected of having Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus in ICU should get an EEG test within 15 to 60 minutes.

The primary challenge in intensive care unit is the lack of specialized EEG or neurology staff, which can lead to delays in detecting and treating critical neurological conditions.

The complexity of traditional EEG equipment also poses a challenge, as it requires time and expertise to set up and interpret. This can be problematic in the ICU, where rapid response and treatment are often necessary. Non-convulsive seizures, for instance, are common in critically ill patients but can be difficult to detect without proper EEG monitoring. Studies suggest that delays in EEG access can extend hospital stays, emphasizing the need for more accessible EEG solutions.

A pressing challenge is accurately assessing brain activity, especially in post-cardiac arrest patients. While vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure are meticulously monitored, determining the status of the brain remains a complex task. In the case of patients who have experienced cardiac arrest, assessing neurological function without EEG is nearly impossible. These patients may exhibit varying degrees of consciousness to comatose, making it difficult to discern subtle neurological changes. Traditional methods often fall short in providing a comprehensive understanding of brain activity, highlighting the critical need for accessible and efficient EEG monitoring solutions like that of Zeto EEG.

Additionally, a key factor with EEGs in the ICU is timing. Even large academic hospitals offering 24/7 coverage of conventional EEG have reported a median delay of four hours to initiate EEG monitoring. Additionally, the process of applying EEG leads on a patient’s head using a traditional EEG system further contributes to these time delays, impacting the speed at which critical monitoring can begin.

Another major barrier to effectively leveraging EEG in the ICU is the lack of bedside diagnostic capabilities. Live, remote interpretation by a physician is simply a must, to ensure that an expert is on hand to diagnose and treat in a timely manner. Live video and continuous monitoring by remote techs would provide the highest quality of care in these situations. 

Solving the Problem of EEG in the ICU, With Zeto

Zeto’s EEG system is designed to meet the unique demands of the ICU. Zeto’s EEG headset is full-montage with single-use electrodes. Additionally, it is wireless and portable, eliminating the need to wait for a cart to be brought into the ICU.

EEG in the ED

In Emergency Departments (EDs), EEG is typically used for acute diagnostics rather than long-term monitoring. It may be employed to differentiate between epileptic seizures and other conditions (like syncope, psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, or coma) or to confirm status epilepticus when a seizure is not visible.

While ED staff excel at providing immediate care for life-threatening conditions, brain activity monitoring is not always a routine part of the process. However, research findings suggest that

integrating EEG monitoring into the ED’s toolkit can have far-reaching benefits,

especially for patients with conditions requiring prompt neurological evaluation. 

Challenges with EEG in the ED

One of the primary challenges in the ED is the limited time available for comprehensive assessments. Research shows that this constraint can lead to missed opportunities for detecting critical neurological conditions, such as non-convulsive seizures or non-convulsive status epilepticus. Patients in the ED may not exhibit obvious seizure symptoms, even after injuries that would seem to typically present them, such as traumatic brain injury, making EEG monitoring even more essential for timely diagnosis.

Furthermore, EDs typically lack specialized neurology staff, and the complexity of traditional EEG equipment can hinder its utility in this fast-paced environment. The need for quick setup and interpretation is evident, given that delays in EEG access can impact patient outcomes. Numerous research findings emphasize the critical role of EEG monitoring in emergency department (ED) settings, highlighting the potential risks associated with overlooking neurological conditions.

Zeto’s Solution for the ED

Zeto’s EEG system is tailored to address the unique challenges of the ED. It offers a streamlined setup process that can be quickly implemented by ED staff, who may not have specialized neurology training. This ease of use is vital in an environment where every minute counts, and rapid response can be a matter of life and death.

The Zeto EEG system also features advanced seizure detection capabilities, aligning with the need for timely diagnosis in the ED. Seizures will be automatically detected and marked in the EEG for review. Near real-time detection notifies medical staff about patients with ongoing clinical seizures. This capability is particularly valuable in the ED, where rapid neurological assessments are essential.
