Breakdown: A review of practical factors affecting the acquisition of bio-signals

TLDR
This work discusses about the practical factors affecting bio-signal acquisition and also proposes some of the possible engineering solutions to overcome these factors.
Abstract
Bio-signal acquisition is a process that involves congregation of bio-signals that are very helpful in detecting a variety of ailments like epilepsy, sleep disorders, cardiac arrhythmia, best's disease, muscular and nervous-system disorders, dominant cystoids macular dystrophy, brain death and coma. Bio-signals can also be used for tracking the human kinesiology and also in enhancing human machine interaction. Bio-signal acquisition has a long history of use in healthcare and research, but there are certain practical factors that can affect the bio-signal acquisition. This work discusses about the practical factors affecting bio-signal acquisition and also proposes some of the possible engineering solutions to overcome these factors.

Flexible and Printed PPG Sensors for Estimation of Drowsiness

TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible optoelectronic sensor composed of red organic light-emitting diodes and organic photodiodes (OPDs) was used for detection of various biological signals in a photoplethysmograph (PPG) device.

The five percent electrode system for high-resolution EEG and ERP measurements

TL;DR: The goal of this new extension to the 10-5 system is to further promote standardization in high-resolution EEG studies.

Fundamentals of eeg measurement

M. Teplan
TL;DR: This review article presents an introduction into EEG measurement, a completely non-invasive procedure that can be applied repeatedly to patients, normal adults, and children with virtually no risk or limitation.

ECG to identify individuals

TL;DR: The tests show that the extracted features are independent of sensor location, invariant to the individual's state of anxiety, and unique to an individual.

EEG in the diagnosis, classification, and management of patients with epilepsy

TL;DR: Electroencephalogram continues to play a central role in diagnosis and management of patients with seizure disorders—in conjunction with the now remarkable variety of other diagnostic techniques developed over the last 30 or so years—because it is a convenient and relatively inexpensive way to demonstrate the physiological manifestations of abnormal cortical excitability that underlie epilepsy.

The basics of electromyography

TL;DR: Electromyography (EMG), the recording of electrical activity in muscle, should be regarded as an extension of the clinical examination and able to detect abnormalities such as chronic denervation or fasciculations in clinically normal muscle.
