G'Day all,
I'm attempting to make a waterproof ECG/EEG system. It's intended to be used as an analysis tool reasearching some of the physiological effects that happen to freedivers as they descend (ie breathold divers). It has been shown before that heart rates can drop as low as 3 bpm (that's one beat every 20 seconds), but I'm not aware of any analysis that's been done using an EEG. I therefore have some questions for the more technically minded - the sensors that are connected to the patient, is it required that they be waterproof? To what extent? And will this diminish their recording capabilities/sensitivity?
Many thanks,
Brad
