Background:

Dry electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes offer convenience but often compromise wearing comfort.
Existing dry EEG systems require improvements in user comfort for broader applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel dry EEG electrode with a flower-like arrangement of tilted pins.
To compare the wearing comfort, channel reliability, and signal quality of the novel Flower electrode cap against a commercial dry Multipin electrode cap.

Main Methods:

A 64-channel dry Flower electrode cap was tested on 20 volunteers.
Performance was assessed in both sitting and supine positions, comparing comfort ratings, channel impedances, and electrophysiological measures (VEP, resting-state EEG power spectral density).

Main Results:

The Flower electrode cap demonstrated significantly improved wearing comfort in both sitting and supine positions.
Channel reliability and average impedances were comparable between the Flower and Multipin electrode systems.
No significant differences were observed in VEP components (global field power, latency, SNR, topography) or resting-state EEG power spectral density.

Conclusions:

The novel dry Flower electrode provides equivalent channel reliability and signal quality to commercial systems.
Its significantly improved wearing comfort opens new possibilities for dry EEG in long-term monitoring, sensitive populations, and supine recordings.
