Abstract

A dry electrode system for the detection of biopotentials existing on the surface of the skin of a living body, including a dry electrode pad with a resilient conductive pad adhering to at least one adhesive pad or otherwise having opposed adhesive surfaces, one of which is adapted to engage the skin of said living body. The dry electrode pad makes electrical connection to an amplifying circuit which transmits a biopotential derived from the conductive pad to a monitor. The amplifying circuit includes a conductive input contact for making electrical contact to the conductive pad, a lead amplifier having an input coupled to the input contact, and a voltage driven shield coupled to the output of the lead amplifier and surrounding portions of the input contact not in engagement with the dry electrode pad.
