Signal Quality and Electrode-Skin Impedance Evaluation in the Context of Wearable Electroencephalographic Systems
Abstract:
Recent advancement in technology has brought about increase in the application areas of wearable electroencephalographic devices. In that, new types of electrodes take place, and particular attention is needed to ensure the required quality of obtained signals. In this study, we evaluate electrode-skin impedance and signal quality for several kinds of electrodes when used in conditions typical for wearable devices. Results suggest that active dry electrode coated with gold alloy is superior while it was challenging to obtain appropriate signal quality when using passive dry electrodes. We also demonstrate electrode-skin impedance measurement using the analog frontend ADS1299, which is suitable for implementation in wearable devices.
