CONNECTION QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR EEG ELECTRODE ARRAYS

Systems, devices, and methods are provided to assess connection quality between the electrodes of a bioelectrical signal measurement and/or electrical stimulation device and the tissue, typically skin, of the subject. A test signal is provided to a first electrode, voltage differences between the first electrode and additional electrodes are determined, an impedance of the first electrode is determined based on the voltages differences, and the determined impedance indicates connection quality. This process is typically repeated for all of the electrodes to determine connection quality. The user or subject can be alerted if the connection quality is poor, and the bioelectrical signal that is recorded can be provided with data points indicating connection quality during the signal recording.
