Abstract

The paper considers the limiting factors in EEG enhancement in the presence of electrosurgery interference and presents a design for a useful fibre-optic EEG monitoring instrument which is free from such problems as electrical shock (micro and macroshock), patient burns and susceptibility to electrosurgery interference associated with conventional EEG monitors.
