hi
here's a good link for a eeg/ecg/emg system design .
http://www.biosemi.com/faq/more_than_16bit.htm

to sum it up , since we use ac mode (dc input filtering) ,
if we use 1uv step size , we would need a 4khz/16bit adc for each
channels . for 2 channels ,for example => 2*4*16kbit/sec =128kbit .
that means we can't use simple rs232 port unless we use some kind
of data compression .
anybody here think he can design such a think (16 bit) ?

BTW , does anybody knows what are the minuses of ac mode for this
kinds of measurements ?

and another question is : what's the use for a full ecg in
biofeedback ? ain't measuring heart pulse via finger is enough ?
