A similar circuit is working quite well in the comEEG prototype.
However I must admit, that the testing level is quite low
(on the oscilloscope I could not see oscillations).
To be sure a more thorough test should be done with a function
generator that injects a square wave into the control loop.

(any volunteers here with the right equipment ?)

IIRR the important trick in the virtual ground circuit was the
ESR of the tanatalum C at the output of the op-amp. An ESR of about
500mOhms provided a negative phase shift of about 90 degrees at the
0dB point in the bode plot of the loop gain, resulting in a total
phase margin of about 90 degrees (what is very stable)

Regards,

Joerg
