ABSTRACT:
An invention is disclosed that provides an apparatus, method and system for the collection of physiological electrical potential signals. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises integrating amplifier and an electrode into a combined unit for attaching or affixing to a subject (e.g., an animal or a human). Resulting from the extremely small or short connection between the conductive portion of the electrode and the amplifier, significantly less noise is introduced into the signal detected by the amplifier. The amplifier thus amplifies a signal with a much higher signal-to-noise ratio as compared with conventional electrode to lead wire to amplifier arrangements.
