Dear sademade:

It is not static! It is from the muscle EMG signal of chewing. I meant toindicate how sensitive this is to all manner of artifacts.

Yes, way, way too much.

Did you not read my comment to Andreas about the "whole body" being an ANTENNA picking up the 60 Hz hum?

But, how much of that is coming from the static electrcity of
the teeth, and how little from the brain, in those 2 instances :-> ?

Would tranzorbs be unuseable here, too much leakage etc ?

Gamma frequencies look very important. Perhaps one can build a
small "shielded helmet" with copper-foil around an integral
motor-bike helmet, and using conducted audio instead of
headphones, and using optical fibers to conduct visual to
the eyes, to prevent induced interferences, and perhaps a soft
piece to bite on to silence the teeth static voltages would also
help ... ?

Of course I am sure you tried this too, just comes out as the
first obvious thing to reduce the induced voltages in a fairly
easy and cheap way ...
