Electrodes – Basics• High-quality biopotential measurements require– Good amplifier design– Use of good electrodes and their proper placement on the
patient– Good laboratory and clinical practices
• Electrodes should be chosen according to the application• Basic electrode structure includes:– The body and casing– Electrode made of high-conductivity material– Wire connector– Cavity or similar for electrolytic gel– Adhesive rim

Ag-AgCl, Silver-Silver Chloride Electrodes
• The most commonly used electrode type
• Silver is interfaced with its salt silver-chloride
• Choice of materials helps to reduce junction potentials
• Electrolytic gel enhances conductivity and also reduces junction potentials
• The gel is typically soaked into a foam pad or applied directly in a pocket produced by electrode housing
• Relatively low-cost and general purpose electrode
• Particularly suited for ambulatory or long term use

Gold Electrodes• Very high conductivity suitable for low-noise meas.• Inertness suitable for reusable electrodes• Body forms cavity which is filled with electrolytic gel• Compared to Ag-AgCL: greater expense, higher
junction potentials and motion artifacts• Often used in EEG, sometimes in EMG
Conductive polymer electrodes
• Made out of material that is simultaneously conductive and adhesive• Polymer is made conductive by adding monovalent metallic ions• Aluminum foil allows contact to external instrumentation• No need for gel or other adhesive substance• High resistivity makes unsuitable for low-noise meas.• Not as good connection as with traditional electrodes
![Page 15: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Metal or carbon electrodes• Other metals are seldom used as high-quality noble
metal electrodes or low-cost carbon or polymericelectrodes are so readily available
• Historical value. Bulky and awkward to use• Carbon electrodes have high resistivity and are noisier
but they are also flexibleand reusable• Applications in electrical stimulation and impedance
plethysmography
Needle electrodes
• Obviously invasive electrodes• Used when measurements have to be taken from the organ itself• Small signals such as motor unit potentials can be measured• Needle is often a steel wire with hooked tip

Electrode-electrolyte interface The current crosses it from left to right. The electrode consists of metallic atoms C. The electrolyte is an aqueous solution containing cations of the
electrode metal C+ and anions A-.

In clinical EEG recording, the waveforms are recorded in a series of Montages.
What is a montage?
Each EEG trace is generated from an active and a reference electrode. Different patterns of electrodes are selected and the traces grouped to provide data from different areas of the scalp.
![Page 20: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bipolar or unipolar electrodes can be used in the EEG measurement.
In the unipolar method the potential difference between a pair of electrodes is measured.
In the bipolar method the potential of each electrode is compared either to a neutral electrode or to the average of all electrodes
Unipolar and Bipolar EEG measurement

Why do we need Filtering
![Page 24: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Types of Filter
1. Low-pass – attenuate high frequencies
2. High-pass – attenuate low frequencies
3. Band-pass – attenuate both
4. Notch – attenuate a narrow band
![Page 25: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Properties of Filters
• “Transfer function”
1. Effect on amplitude at each frequency
2. Effect on phase at each frequency
• “Half Amp. Cutoff”
1. Frequency at which amp is reduced by 50%
![Page 26: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
High-pass
![Page 27: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Low-pass
![Page 28: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Band-pass and Notch
![Page 29: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Problems with Filters
• Original waveform, band pass of .01 – 80Hz
• Low-pass filtered, half-amp cutofff = ~40Hz
• Low-pass filtered, half-amp cutofff = ~20Hz
• Low-pass filtered, half-amp cutofff = ~10Hz
![Page 30: EEG - Montages, Equipment and Basic Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081715/547cf633b47959a2508b47c7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Filtering Artefacts
• “Precision in the time domain is inversely related to precision in the frequency domain.”

Time constant of Low pass Filter
o Want the majority of voltage of signal to be measured across the Co It takes time to charge the C ()o It takes longer to charge a capacitor with a big capacitance
(can hold a lot of chargeo It takes longer to charge if R is big b/c it slows the currento We only have until the peak of the half cycleo Want the time to peak of half cycle (or longer) to charge the capacitor
