ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to provide an electroencephalogram (EEG) measured with respect to a reference which is not on the head and to eliminate the electrocardiographic (EKG) artifact which normally contaminates such a measurement. At least three electrodes are placed at or below the base of the neck. Signals from these electrodes are linearly combined, thereby producing a reference signal. The reference signal is then subtracted from signals derived from scalp electrodes. The linear coefficients are adjusted to eliminate the EKG artifact.
