An electrode arrangement measures electric voltages and currents in the human body and provides electro-simulation of the human body. The electrode arrangement contains an electrode array with a flexible support. A number of electrodes are arranged in a grid on the same side of the support and slots are disposed between the individual electrodes starting from the outer edge of the support. An elastic intermediate layer that has one recess for each electrode is provided, each recess defining a cavity to be filled with an electrically conductive gel.

A first calculation unit calculates the heart rate of a subject from a plurality of instantaneous heart rates by averaging processing with an IIR filter using a first coefficient. Note that the first coefficient is a numerical value less than 1, and is a fixed value. A second calculation unit calculates the heart rate of the subject from the plurality of instantaneous heart rates by averaging processing with an IIR filter using a second coefficient. The second coefficient is a numerical value less than 1, and is a variable value. A switching unit switches between the first calculation unit and the second calculation unit based on a difference between the precedingly calculated heart rate and a latest instantaneous heart rate.
