ABSTRACT:
A system for unobtrusively measuring bioelectric signals developed by an individual includes multiple sensors, one or more of which constitutes a capacitive sensor, embedded into or otherwise integrated into an object, such as a chair, bed or the like, used to support the individual. The object serves as mounting structure that holds the sensors in place. The sensors are preferably arranged in the form of an array, with particular ones of the sensors being selectable from the array for measuring the bioelectric signals which are transmitted, such as through a wireless link, for display and/or analysis purposes.
