(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in an international level competition.

My enquiry is from Multi-Patient Telemetry in division Biomedical Telemetry of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

For explanation I would say: They may be several hundred microvolts, but 50 microvolts peak-to-peak is the most typical. Yes, EEG signals picked up by the surface electrodes are usually small as compared with the ECG signals.
