Q

what is Bell’s phenomenon?

A

blinking of the eye where the eyeball moves upward in the head and resulting in an electric charge that is able to be represented in a wave pattern/format

17
Q

what stage of sleep of sleep do sleep spindles occur and at what frequency range?

A

stage 2 of sleep and 11 - 15 Hz

18
Q

what are measures that can be taken (or inherent measures) to minimize the influence of common mode signals?

A

differential amplification, balanced electrode placement, grounding techniques, shielding

19
Q

what is balanced electrode placement?

A

positioning electrodes symmetrically around the head per 20/20 requirements

20
Q

what are electrode grounding techniques?

A

placement of ground electrodes to minimize common mode interference

21
Q

what is shielding?

A

the use of conductive materials or Faraday cages to block/redirect unwanted electrical fields.
