چکیده

wet ag/agcl electrodes, although very popular in clinical diagnosis, are not appropriate for expanding applications of wearable biopotential recording systems which are used repetitively and for a long time. here, the development of a low‑cost and low‑noise active dry electrode is presented. the performance of the new electrodes was assessed for recording electrocardiogram (ecg) and electroencephalogram (eeg) in comparison with that of typical gel‑based electrodes in a series of long‑term recording experiments. the ecg signal recorded by these electrodes was well comparable with usual ag/agcl electrodes with a correlation up to 99.5% and mean power line noise below 6.0 µvrms. the active electrodes were also used to measure alpha wave and steady state visual evoked potential by recording eeg. the recorded signals were comparable in quality with signals recorded by standard gel electrodes, suggesting that the designed electrodes can be employed in eeg‑based rehabilitation systems and brain‑computer interface applications. the mean power line noise in eeg signals recorded by the active electrodes (1.3 µvrms) was statistically lower than when conventional gold cup electrodes were used (2.0 µvrms) with a significant level of 0.05, and the new electrodes appeared to be more resistant to the electromagnetic interferences. these results suggest that the developed low‑cost electrodes can be used to develop wearable monitoring systems for long‑term biopotential recording.

A dry electrode for EEG recording.

This paper describes the design, fabrication and testing of a prototype dry surface electrode for EEG signal recording. The new dry electrode has the advantages of no need for skin preparation or conductive paste, potential for reduced sensitivity to motion artifacts and an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. The electrode's sensing element is a 3 mm stainless steel disk which has a 2000 A (200 nm)...

An active electrode for biopotential recording from small localized bio-sources

BACKGROUND Laser bio-stimulation is a well-established procedure in Medical Acupuncture. Nevertheless there is still a confusion as to whether it works or the effect is just placebo. Although a plethora of scientific papers published, showing positive clinical results, there is still a lack of objective scientific proofs about the bio-stimulation effect of lasers used in Acupuncture. The object...

Problems in Assessment of Novel Biopotential Front-End with Dry Electrode: A Brief Review

Developers of novel or improved front-end circuits for biopotential recordings using dry electrodes face the challenge of validating their design. Dry electrodes allow more user-friendly and pervasive patient-monitoring, but proof is required that new devices can perform biopotential recording with a quality at least comparable to existing medical devices. Aside from electrical safety requireme...

Noise in biopotential recording using surface electrodes

Electric events inside the human body cause potential differences on the skin. Surface electrodes can be used to measure these voltages. A surface electrode is in fact an electrochemical transducer. It converts the potential differences due to ion flows inside the human body into a measurable voltage. The measurement of bioelectric events is exposed to various sources of noise. The reactions th...
