EMG Electrode Options
Good skin prep and proper electrode arrangement are all-important. EMG
signals measure in the millionths of a volt, and extraneous electrical signals are
everywhere – from cell phones to transmission towers to fluorescent lights.
Proper electrode set-up helps to ensure that the NeuroNode3 circuitry can tease
out these unwanted signals, leaving only the EMG signals to be processed as the
“switch” for the NeuroNode Controller Application.
Use skin prep to remove oils, dirt, and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
This will help to ensure good contact is made between the skin and the conduct-
ing surface of the electrodes.
Control Bionics recommends using the Non-Adhesive Electrode along with the
NeuroBand for the most convenient interface; however, some users will need to
use adhesive electrodes to produce a reliable signal.
In order to use Leadwires for individual electrodes, the NeuroNode3 comes with a
Leadwire Adapter Base. Simply orient the plastic keying points on the face of the
adapter plate with the matching keying points on the bottom of the NeuroNode3.
Take care that the two pieces are aligned before snapping them together.
Observe the black and white color coding of the Leadwires (two white, one black)
and match them to the accompanying connectors exiting the Adapter Plate.
