And as a follow-up, I've measured the electrode-to-skin impedance using my ADS1299 based system.  I tried disposable ECG electrodes and I tried gold cup EEG electrodes.  If you're interested in seeing come results, you check out:

Subject: Measuring Electrode Impedance


I finally took the time to try to understand the technique for measuring the impedance of the electrode-to-skin interface.  It is generally considered critical that you get a nice and low impedance at each electrode and that the impedance is similar between all of your electrodes.  I've been helping to develop the OpenBCI EEG system, so I focused on how the ADS1299 chip (which is the core of OpenBCI) approaches impedance monitoring.  If you're interested to see how it works, you can check out my post and pictures below...

Thanks all!
