ABRET R.EEG.T STUDY GUIDE - EEG INSTRUMENTATION
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
What is the definition of a differential amplifier? - CORRECT ANSWER-Amplifies
only the difference in voltage between two inputs. Does not amplify equal
voltages at two inputs. The more the inputs are different the more there is to
amplify.
What is the definition of Input Impedance? - CORRECT ANSWER-NOT the
impedance between the scalp and the electrodes
An impedance between components of the differential amplifier. It must be HIGH
for optimal functioning of the amplifier. Must be at lease 10 mega ohms
What is the definition of of common mode rejection? - CORRECT ANSWER-A
metric used to quantify the ability of the device to reject common-mode signals,
i.e. those that appear simultaneously and in-phase on both inputs.
Rejects external interference such as 60 Hz and radio frequencies by canceling
signals common to both inputs.
The CMRR should be at least 80dB or 10,000:1
The rule in the design of EEG instruments is that if input 1 is positive with respect
to input 2 the deflection of the channel will be? - CORRECT ANSWER-Down
The rule in the design of EEG instruments is that if input 1 is negative with respect
to input 2 the deflection of the channel will be? - CORRECT ANSWER-Up

What is the definition of gain? - CORRECT ANSWER-Gain is the ratio of the output signal. Gain has no unit of measure. What is the definition of Sensitivity? - CORRECT ANSWER-The ratio of input voltage to output deflection. Equation: S-V/A What is the definition of filter? - CORRECT ANSWER-Used to exclude waveforms that are out of range so that the waveforms of most importance (1-30 Hz) can be recorded without distortion What is the definition of amplifier? - CORRECT ANSWER-A differential amplifier amplifies only the difference in voltage between two inputs. It does not amplify equal common voltages at the two inputs. The differential amplifier rejects external interference such as 60 hz and radio frequencies by canceling signals common to both inputs What is the definition of Time Constant - CORRECT ANSWER-Describes the effect of the low frequency filter on square wave pulses, i.e. calibration square wave pulse. The time required for the pen to fall to 37% of the peak deflection What is a possible situation in which you may need to use LFF of 5 Hz? - CORRECT ANSWER-To emphasize fast components such as spikes or sleep spindles by minimizing slow activity Sweat artifact

A spike measuring 15mm peak-to-peak, is recording at a sen. of 10uV/mm. What is the voltage of the spike - CORRECT ANSWER-V=DS V=15mm10uV/mm V=150uV Why is biocalibration preformed at the beginning of each analog EEG recording? - CORRECT ANSWER-Biocal compares all channels using their input EEG activity from one pair scalp electrodes connected to every channel. Each channel should be set at the same settings. What are the specific components of the analog EEG machine that biocal checks?

  • CORRECT ANSWER-Biocal afford a check of the Electrode cable, the two Electrodes being used, the Galvanometers, the Amplifiers and the Pen. [EEGAP] Why is the frontal and occipital electrodes typically used as the biocal inputs tested? - CORRECT ANSWER-They provide a relatively high amplitude signal due to the long interelectrode distance and include a variety of frequencies. How is biocal preformed on digital EEG equipment? - CORRECT ANSWER-A standard microvolt input is applied to each amplifier. Minor amplifier differences are electronically connected throughout recording. Most systems will not allow a tracing to be recording is major disturbances are detected. Why is calibration preformed at the beginning and end of each analog EEG recording? - CORRECT ANSWER-Calibration checks for any errors in the settings or controls. It ensures that all channels are preforming identically and all instrument control settings are properly adjusted

What are the measurements checked during the performance of an analog EEG calibration? - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Pen deflection (sensitivity, HFF, LFF)

  1. Time axis alignment
  2. Mechanical baseline
  3. Electronical baseline
  4. Under or over damping What is the equation for Voltage? - CORRECT ANSWER-V=A*S V = voltage A or D = amplitude or deflection S = sensitivity What is the equation for frequency? - CORRECT ANSWER-Frequency = 1/duration What is the equation for duration? - CORRECT ANSWER-Duration = Distance/Paper speed Distance of waveforms is measured in millimeters [mm]
