Abstract
Sensor (1) for measuring electrical variables at the surface of a human or animal body, comprising three of more electrodes (2) in a geometrically regular arrangement, the sensor, moreover, comprising a support member (4), arranged to keep the electrodes together. The sensor may e.g. comprise a regular tripole (A, B, C) or quadrupole electrode configuration. The support member may have a rigid or a flexible constitution. The sensor may contain additional means (9) to detect orientation or position of the sensor w.r.t. the body, as well as means for energy scavenging.
