Abstract

Bioelectric electrodes are transducers that convert ionic currents within the body into electron currents in the metal leads to the amplifier input stage. This transducer system comprises a metal/electrolyte interface with an electrical double layer while the electrode/amplifier system exhibits a frequency transfer with interesting properties. Most often, the distortion of the biosignal by this transfer is acceptable; however, in order to justify the conclusions drawn from the signal in the diagnostic process at least some elementary insight is required.
