A member asked:

How can one remove glue from your hair from an ambulatory eeg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acetone: Routine eeg paste comes out easily with soap and water. Prolonged recordings may involve collodion which must be removed with acetone. A good technician should have removed it for you.
