Eeg wiring: not shielded cable

[JCD]

Hi I have just received a high density electrocap for recording eeg -signals and discovered that the cable that leads to the electrodes is not shielded.
Does this probably corrupt the signal?

Hi,

It is possible that the unit uses a differential measure that lowers the noise.
And I saw many pretty cables that were well grounded but look like they weren't.

It is possible that the lack of shielding in the cable could corrupt the EEG signal. Shielding helps to protect the signal from external interference, such as electrical noise, which could distort the recorded data. Without shielding, the signal may be more susceptible to interference, resulting in inaccurate or unreliable readings. It is important to ensure that the equipment used for EEG recording is of high quality and properly shielded to obtain accurate results. It may be worth considering investing in a shielded cable or consulting with a professional for further guidance.
