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