TLDR
It is illustrated experimentally that up to 100 Hz S/N practically depends only on cortical generated background noise, while at a few hundred Hz or more amplifier and thermal noise of interelectrode resistance are the major sources.
Abstract
First, the intrinsic random noise sources of a biopotential measurement in general are reviewed. For the special case of an electroencephalographic (EEG) measurement we have extended the commonly used amplifier noise model by biological generated background noise. As the strongest of all noise sources involved will dominate the resulting signal to noise ratio (S/N), we have investigated under which conditions this will be the case. We illustrate experimentally that up to 100 Hz S/N practically depends only on cortical generated background noise, while at a few hundred Hz or more amplifier and thermal noise of interelectrode resistance are the major sources.

Skin impedance from 1 Hz to 1 MHz

TL;DR: The impedance of skin coated with gel but otherwise unprepared was measured at ten sites on the thorax, leg, and forehead of ten subjects, which suggests that the variation in skin impedance can cause errors in two-electrode electrical impedance tomographs.

Investigation into the origin of the noise of surface electrodes.

TL;DR: It was found that the noise mainly originates in the electrolyte-skin interface and that it is highly dependent on the electrode gel used and the skin properties of the test subject, as well as the contribution of EMG signals to the total noise level.

Amplitudes and latencies of single-trial ERP's estimated by a maximum-likelihood method

TL;DR: The authors present a solution in which amplitude variability is also allowed to estimate the P3 component in single trials and showed some advantage of the method over two other methods commonly used in event-related potentials research.

The design of low-noise amplifiers

TL;DR: In this paper, the essential theory and practical considerations for the design of low-noise amplifiers are gathered and organized to a uniform presentation, and the relevant material is quite simple and straightforward, hopefully bringing within the reach of the interested circuit designer the "art" of lownoise-amplifier design.
