Place the control box in either the rear head position or the top position. The top position is recommended for those who research on people where headrests are required in a chair (in wheelchairs, for example), or in studies where people are lying down (sleep studies).

With the EMOTIV logo facing outwards, stretch the fabric into the groove around the circular part of the control box securing the box in place.
