Scalp electrode impedance measurements recorded by wired and wireless electroencephalography (EEG) machines in 7 healthy dogs were compared. Eight recordings resulted in 80 impedance readings from subdermal wire electrodes (locations F7/F8, F3/F4, T3/T4, C3/C4, Fz, and Cz). Impedance values were measured first from the wired and then the wireless EEG machine. Wireless impedance measurements were higher than the wired EEG machine in 79/80 readings (P ≤ 0.05), being on average 2.83 kΩ [P ≤ 0.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.51 to 3.14, SD = 1.42] higher. Impedances from the wired machine ranged between < 0.5 and 9 kΩ (mean = 3.09, median = 2.00, SD = 2.15), whereas impedances from the wireless machine ranged between 2.69 and 6.07 kΩ (mean = 5.92, median = 5.05, SD = 2.59). Despite these differences in impedance measurements, both machines measured similar impedance patterns. The wireless EEG machine's impedance measurements, therefore, should be acceptable for veterinary clinical settings.
