Abstract
A system and method of measuring bioelectric signals generated by an individual, inclusive of humans or other living organisms, comprises a plurality of sensors, at least one of the plurality of sensors being constituted by a capacitive-type sensor. Sensor has an associated insulated layer of material preventing the conduction of direct current between an electrode and individual, wherein a bioelectric signal of individual can be measured underwater.
Claims22
A method for measuring bioelectric signals underwater comprising:
- placing two sensors on an individual, wherein at least one of the sensors is a capacitive-type sensor having an associated insulating layer of material, wherein placing the two sensors involves placing the capacitive-type sensor at a distance from an individual and forming a gap between the insulating layer and skin of the individual so as to prevent conduction of direct current between the skin of the individual and the capacitive sensor;
- and
- measuring signals with the two sensors while at least the capacitive-type sensor is at least partially underwater.
(canceled)
A sensor system for measuring bioelectric signals of an individual having skin, said system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, at least one of the plurality of sensors being constituted by a capacitive-type sensor wherein the capacitive-type sensor has an associated insulated layer of material and is configured to be placed at a distance from the individual and to form a gap between the insulated layer and the skin so as to prevent conduction of direct current between the skin of the individual and the capacitive sensor, wherein a bioelectric signal of the individual can be measured when the capacitive-type sensor is partially underwater.
