I have a client in the chair - what are these crazy brain map lines!?!

Hey! So, here's the example: you have a client in the chair, cap on, cap has it's Electro-Gel... everything is set up/ready so you start recording.....and you start getting some crazy looking lines!!!! As a clinician/technician you have to act fairly quick before the cap may start bothering the client and potentially, they have to leave without their map done :( (which can be refunds, rescheduling, lost trust from your patient, and potentially a lost patient entirely, so below is how notice what may be happening and how to handle that.

***NewMind recommends EVERY clinic have an extra pair of new in the box ear clips on standby (also, potentially a new cap, depending your average client head sizes and/or average number of maps a week)
