Abstract:
A low-noise multichannel EEG-Amplifier-System has been designed and analyzed, which is electromagnetically compatible with SQUIDs. The EEG- together with the MEG-System is operated inside the quiet environment of a magnetically shielded room, hence no electrical 50 Hz-Artifact is detectable. Measurements pointed out that the influence of amplifier- and electrochemical-noise of electrodes to averaged EEG-spectral densities is less than 1% within the frequency range 0.5 to 70 Hz. Thermal noise of the skin-electrode-interface, equivalent to a resistor of 30 k omega, only begins to take effect above 20 Hz, suggesting that there is no need of skin abrasion.
