Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom. They have a small mass compared to protons and neutrons, and they are responsible for the majority of the atom's volume. Electrons play a crucial role in chemical reactions and the formation of chemical bonds. Their negative charge balances out the positive charge of protons in the nucleus, creating a stable atom.

Submit
3. Electrically neutral or uncharged particle:

Explanation

Neutrons are electrically neutral or uncharged particles. Unlike protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge, neutrons do not have any charge. They are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons, and their main role is to contribute to the mass of the atom without affecting its overall charge.

Submit
4. This form of electricity is used in the home, industry, hospitals and laboratory and involves 60 Hz.

Explanation

Alternating current (AC) is the correct answer because it is the form of electricity commonly used in homes, industries, hospitals, and laboratories. AC involves a frequency of 60 Hz, which means that the direction of the current periodically changes, allowing for efficient transmission of electricity over long distances and easy voltage regulation. In contrast, direct current (DC) flows in only one direction and is typically used for low-voltage applications or specific devices like batteries. Static and magnetic are not forms of electricity but rather related concepts or phenomena.

Submit
5. If I1 is more negative than I2 the signal will deflect upward. 

Explanation

If I1 is more negative than I2, it means that the potential difference across I1 is greater than the potential difference across I2. Since a more negative potential difference indicates a lower voltage, this means that I1 has a lower voltage than I2. In a circuit, the current flows from higher voltage to lower voltage. Therefore, if I1 has a lower voltage than I2, the current will flow from I2 to I1. This will cause the signal to deflect upward. Hence, the statement is true.

Submit
6. A notch filter should be used before attempts to eradicate the cause of interference. 

Explanation

A notch filter is a type of filter that attenuates a specific frequency or range of frequencies while allowing other frequencies to pass through. It is commonly used to eliminate unwanted interference or noise from a signal. By using a notch filter before attempting to eradicate the cause of interference, it helps to specifically target and remove the unwanted frequencies, improving the effectiveness of the interference removal process. Therefore, the statement is true.

Submit
7. An open circuit allows for current to flow in an electric circuit. 

Explanation

An open circuit does not allow for current to flow in an electric circuit. In an open circuit, there is a break or disconnect in the path of the circuit, preventing the flow of electrons. Without a complete path for the current to travel, no current can flow through the circuit.

Submit
9. The greatest number of cycles per second that a channel will display:

Explanation

A high frequency filter is designed to allow only high-frequency signals to pass through, while attenuating or blocking low-frequency signals. Therefore, the greatest number of cycles per second that a channel will display would be determined by the high frequency filter. It allows higher frequency signals to be displayed, while filtering out lower frequency signals.

Submit
10. The longest time constant corresponds with the lowest LFF setting. 

Explanation

The longest time constant corresponds with the lowest LFF setting because the time constant is a measure of how long it takes for a system to respond to changes. A longer time constant means that the system takes more time to respond to changes, while a shorter time constant means that the system responds more quickly. Therefore, the lowest LFF setting, which corresponds to the longest time constant, indicates that the system will take the most time to respond to changes.

Submit
11. Display time is typically expressed in:

Explanation

Display time is typically expressed in millimeters per second. This unit of measurement is commonly used to indicate the speed at which an object or information is displayed on a screen. It represents the distance traveled by the displayed content in millimeters over a period of one second.

Submit
12. The lowest number of cycles per second a channel will display:

Explanation

A low frequency filter is designed to allow only low-frequency signals to pass through while attenuating or blocking higher frequency signals. This means that it will display the lowest number of cycles per second (or hertz) that can be transmitted through the channel. In other words, it filters out higher frequency components, allowing only low-frequency signals to be displayed.

Submit
13. A referential montage does not automatically filter out widespread potential with similar amplitudes and phases.

Explanation

A referential montage refers to a specific method of electrode placement in electroencephalography (EEG) where the electrical activity of the brain is recorded from two or more electrodes. This statement suggests that a referential montage does not eliminate or exclude widespread potential signals that have similar amplitudes and phases. In other words, using a referential montage does not automatically remove or filter out similar brain activity patterns, which makes the statement true.

Submit
14. Per ACNS Guidelines the digital signal display should have a horizontal scaling of:

Explanation

According to the ACNS Guidelines, the digital signal display should have a horizontal scaling of 25-35mm. This means that the width of the display should be between 25 and 35 millimeters. Additionally, the display should have a minimum of 128 data points, which refers to the number of individual measurements or data samples that are plotted on the display. Therefore, the correct answer is 25-35mm with a minimum of 128 data points, as it aligns with the guidelines provided by ACNS.

Submit
15. 10,-3

Submit
16. The formula for calculating sensitivity is:

Explanation

The formula for calculating sensitivity is S= V/A. This formula represents the ratio of the change in output (V) to the change in input (A). In other words, sensitivity measures how much the output changes in response to a change in the input. By dividing the change in output (V) by the change in input (A), we can determine the sensitivity of the system.

Submit
17. Per ACNS Guidelines the minimum sampling rate in an Analog to Digital Converter must be:

Explanation

According to the ACNS Guidelines, the minimum sampling rate in an Analog to Digital Converter must be 256 samples per second. This means that the ADC should take at least 256 measurements of the analog signal per second in order to accurately convert it into a digital representation. A higher sampling rate ensures that the digital signal captures the necessary details and accurately represents the original analog signal.

Submit
18. A  30Hz HFF will have what affect on the amplitude of a 15Hz wave?

Explanation

A 30Hz high-frequency filter (HFF) will cause a roll-off effect on a 15Hz wave, reducing its amplitude by 50%. This means that the 15Hz wave will be attenuated or decreased by half when passed through the 30Hz HFF. The roll-off effect refers to the gradual decrease in amplitude or filtering of frequencies above a certain cutoff point, in this case, 30Hz. Therefore, the correct answer is "Roll off, 50%".

Submit
19. Pico

Explanation

The given answer "10,-12" represents the coordinates of a point on a graph. The first value, 10, indicates the position of the point on the x-axis, while the second value, -12, indicates the position on the y-axis. Therefore, the point is located at the coordinates (10,-12) on the graph.

Submit
20. Impedances should not be below 100 Ohms because this causes signal shunt or a short circuit.

Explanation

Impedance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of alternating current in a circuit. When the impedance is below 100 Ohms, it means that the circuit is not providing enough resistance to the current, which can result in a signal shunt or a short circuit. This can lead to various issues such as signal distortion, excessive current flow, and potential damage to the circuit components. Therefore, it is important to ensure that impedances are not below 100 Ohms to maintain proper circuit functioning and prevent any potential damage.

Submit
21. Per ACNS Guidelines the amplitude resolution is recommended at:

Explanation

The recommended amplitude resolution according to ACNS Guidelines is 16 bits or higher. This means that the measurement system should be able to accurately measure and represent amplitudes with a resolution of at least 16 bits. A higher resolution allows for more precise and accurate measurements, which is important in various applications such as signal processing, data acquisition, and scientific research.

Submit
22. Sign of potential difference between two electrodes affected by a given potential change:

Explanation

The sign of potential difference between two electrodes is affected by a potential change. Polarity refers to the positive or negative nature of the potential difference. A potential change can cause a shift in the polarity, resulting in a different sign of the potential difference between the electrodes. Therefore, polarity is the correct answer as it accurately describes the effect of a potential change on the sign of the potential difference.

Submit
23. The strength of the interaction of positive and negative electrical charges; the electrical force that causes electrons to move:

Explanation

Electromotive force (EMF) is the correct answer because it refers to the strength of the interaction between positive and negative electrical charges. EMF is responsible for causing electrons to move in a circuit, creating an electric current. Voltage is a measure of the potential difference between two points in a circuit, which is directly related to EMF. Current refers to the flow of electric charge in a circuit, which is caused by EMF. Resistance, on the other hand, is a property that opposes the flow of current in a circuit.

Submit
24. The movement of free electrons to move in one direction:

Explanation

Current is the correct answer because it refers to the flow of electric charge in a circuit. When free electrons move in one direction, it constitutes an electric current. Electrons are negatively charged particles that move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a power source, such as a battery or generator. The rate at which these electrons flow is measured in amperes (A). Therefore, current is the appropriate term to describe the movement of free electrons in one direction.

Submit
25. Which of the following is not a step in electrical safety?

A higher pixel resolution generally results in better image quality, so it is important to meet or exceed this recommended minimum to ensure optimal display performance.

Submit
27. Unit of Voltage in EKG:

Explanation

The unit of voltage in an EKG is millivolts. EKG, also known as electrocardiogram, is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It records the electrical signals generated by the heart as it beats. The voltage produced by these signals is typically measured in millivolts, which is one thousandth of a volt. This unit of measurement is commonly used in medical devices and tests to accurately assess the electrical activity of the heart.

Submit
28. When the inputs are the same or close to the same, the output may be 0 or minimal:

Explanation

When the inputs are the same or close to the same, the output may be 0 or minimal. This is because when two inputs are similar, they tend to cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller or zero output. This concept is known as cancellation, where the effects of similar inputs negate each other, leading to a minimal or zero overall impact.

Submit
29. Voltage equals:

Explanation

The correct answer is Intensity x Resistance because voltage is equal to the product of current (intensity) and resistance. This relationship is described by Ohm's law, which states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and the resistance of the conductor. Therefore, multiplying the intensity and resistance gives the voltage.

Submit
30. Which of the following apply to Coulomb's law: 

Explanation

Coulomb's law states that like charges repel each other, meaning that two positively charged objects or two negatively charged objects will push each other away. On the other hand, opposite charges attract, which means that a positively charged object will be attracted to a negatively charged object, and vice versa. This law is used to calculate the force between two charged objects based on their charges and the distance between them.

Submit
31. Changes the display montage once the test is completed:

Explanation

The correct answer is Montage reformatting because it suggests that the display montage is being changed or altered in some way after the completion of the test. This could involve rearranging or restructuring the elements within the montage to present the information in a different format or layout.

Submit

When the input 1 is equal to input 2, there is no potential difference between the two inputs. Therefore, there is no voltage gradient to cause any deflection.

Submit
33. This type of shock can cause contractions so forceful that it will not let you release your grip due to persistent stimulation. Typically contains a current level of 10-20 mA.

Explanation

The let-go current is the correct answer because it refers to the current level at which a person's muscles contract so forcefully that they are unable to release their grip. This is due to persistent stimulation caused by the electric shock. The let-go current typically ranges from 10-20 mA.

Submit
34. This type of shock can be dangerous or lethal if applied directly to the myocardium. 10uA can cause ventricular fibrillation. 

Explanation

Microshock refers to a low-level electrical shock that is applied directly to the myocardium, which is the muscular tissue of the heart. Even a small current of 10uA can cause ventricular fibrillation, a potentially life-threatening condition where the heart's electrical signals become chaotic. Therefore, microshocks can be dangerous or even lethal if they directly affect the heart.

Submit
35. The activity of interest in an EEG fall within the range of:

Explanation

The correct answer is 1-70Hz because the activity of interest in an EEG, or electroencephalogram, typically falls within this frequency range. EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain, and different frequency bands correspond to different brain states. The delta (1-4Hz) and theta (4-8Hz) bands are associated with deep sleep and relaxation, while the alpha (8-12Hz) and beta (12-30Hz) bands are related to awake and alert states. Gamma waves (30-70Hz) are associated with higher cognitive processes and attention. Therefore, the activity of interest in an EEG is captured within the range of 1-70Hz.

Submit
36. The ability of an amplifier to reveal differences in electrical potential between two electrodes inputs, while rejecting common potentials is called the: 

Explanation

Common Mode Rejection refers to the ability of an amplifier to distinguish and amplify the differences in electrical potential between two input electrodes while effectively rejecting any common potentials that may be present. This means that the amplifier is able to amplify the desired signal while minimizing any interference or noise that is present in both input signals. Common Mode Rejection is an important characteristic of amplifiers, especially in applications where there is a need to accurately amplify small differential signals in the presence of common noise or interference.

Submit
37. Per ACNS Guidelines impedances up to __ Ohms are acceptable.

Explanation

According to the ACNS Guidelines, impedances up to 10 Ohms are considered acceptable. This means that any impedance value below or equal to 10 Ohms is within the acceptable range as per the guidelines.

Submit
38. In the Nyquist theory the sampling rate must be___ the frequencies to be resolved.

Explanation

In the Nyquist theory, the sampling rate must be at least twice the frequencies to be resolved. This is because of the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, which states that in order to accurately reconstruct a signal, the sampling rate must be greater than twice the highest frequency present in the signal. By sampling at a rate that is at least 2X the frequencies to be resolved, we can avoid aliasing and accurately represent the original signal.

Submit

By localizing the source or area of a wave or rhythm, researchers can gain insights into its characteristics and behavior.

Submit
40. The opposition to alternating current flow, measured after an electrode is applied:

Explanation

Impedance is the opposition to alternating current flow, measured after an electrode is applied. It is a combination of resistance and reactance, which represents the resistance to the flow of current and the reactance caused by the capacitance or inductance of the circuit. Impedance is measured in ohms and is used to determine the effectiveness of an electrical circuit in allowing current to flow.

Submit
41. The standard EEG paper speed is:

Explanation

The standard EEG paper speed is 30 mm/sec. This refers to the speed at which the paper moves through the EEG machine during recording. A higher paper speed means that the EEG waves will be spread out over a larger distance on the paper, making it easier to analyze individual waveforms. However, a slower paper speed allows for more detail to be captured, as the waves are compressed into a smaller space. 30 mm/sec is a commonly used speed that strikes a balance between capturing detail and allowing for easy analysis.

Submit
42. A limited region of the scalp or cerebral cortex displaying a given EEG activity:

Explanation

The term "focus" refers to a limited region of the scalp or cerebral cortex that displays a specific EEG activity. In other words, it is a specific area where brain activity is concentrated or focused. This term is commonly used in the field of neuroscience to describe the specific location or area of brain activity that researchers or clinicians are interested in studying or analyzing.

Submit
43. The standard setting for sensitivity is: 

Explanation

This setting determines the level of sensitivity at which the device can detect and measure electrical activity.

Submit
44. This type of shock can cause burns, local tissue damage and ventricular fibrillation. Ranges from 100- 300 mA.

Explanation

Macroshock refers to an electrical shock that occurs when a person comes into contact with a high current, typically ranging from 100-300 mA. This type of shock can cause severe burns, damage to local tissues, and can even lead to ventricular fibrillation, a life-threatening condition where the heart's rhythm becomes irregular. Unlike microshock, which involves much lower currents, macroshock poses a greater risk to the individual's health and safety. Therefore, the given answer "Macroshock" is correct in relation to the described effects and current range.

Submit
45. The ground to chassis resistance must be a very low value of: 

Explanation

The ground to chassis resistance must be a very low value of less than 0.5 Ohms. This is important because a low resistance ensures a good electrical connection between the ground and the chassis of a device or system. A high resistance can lead to poor grounding, which can result in electrical noise, voltage fluctuations, or even safety hazards. Therefore, it is crucial to have a low resistance value to ensure effective grounding and proper functioning of the equipment.

Submit
46. The process in which the computer recognizes each electrode and allows the user to create montages is called:

Explanation

Montage reformatting refers to the process in which the computer recognizes each electrode and allows the user to create montages. This involves rearranging or reformatting the electrode positions to create different montages for analysis or visualization purposes.

Submit
47. An array of computer chips mounted on a circuit board that has inputs to receive the amplified EEG signal:

Explanation

The Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is the correct answer because it is responsible for converting the amplified EEG signal, which is an analog signal, into a digital signal that can be processed by a computer. The ADC takes continuous voltage values from the amplifier and converts them into discrete digital values that can be stored, analyzed, and manipulated by digital systems. This conversion is necessary in order to interface the analog EEG signal with the digital components of the computer chips mounted on the circuit board.

Submit
48. Bipolar montages are best used in analysis of which type of waveforms?

Explanation

Bipolar montages are best used in the analysis of low to medium amplitude waveforms because they provide a more detailed and accurate representation of the electrical activity in the brain. This type of montage involves using two electrodes, with one acting as the positive and the other as the negative, to record the voltage difference between them. By focusing on lower to medium amplitude waveforms, bipolar montages can enhance the visibility of subtle changes in electrical activity and help identify abnormalities or patterns in the brain's signals.

Submit
49. The ratio of input voltage to the signal deflection it produces: 

Explanation

The term "sensitivity" refers to the ratio of input voltage to the signal deflection it produces. In other words, it measures how responsive a system or device is to changes in input voltage. A higher sensitivity means that even small changes in input voltage will result in a larger signal deflection, while a lower sensitivity means that larger changes in input voltage are required to produce a noticeable signal deflection. Therefore, sensitivity is the correct answer in this context.

Submit
50. EEG waveforms appear slower when viewed with a slower timescale due to more seconds condensed on the screen.

Explanation

The statement is false because EEG waveforms do not appear slower when viewed with a slower timescale. In fact, when the timescale is slower, the waveforms appear to be stretched out and take up more space on the screen, making them appear faster. This is because a slower timescale allows for more data points to be displayed within a given time frame, resulting in a more detailed view of the waveforms.

Submit
51. Antialiasing occurs when the sampling rate is too high.

Explanation

Antialiasing occurs when the sampling rate is too low, not too high. Antialiasing is a technique used in signal processing to prevent the distortion or artifacts that can occur when a signal is sampled at a lower rate than the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem suggests. By applying a low-pass filter to the signal before sampling, high-frequency components that could cause aliasing are removed, resulting in a smoother and more accurate representation of the original signal. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
52. Increasing the LFF will cause a decreased filtering of Delta Waves.

Explanation

Increasing the LFF (Low Frequency Filter) will not cause a decreased filtering of Delta Waves. This is because the LFF is used to filter out low-frequency components from a signal. Delta Waves are low-frequency brain waves typically associated with deep sleep. Therefore, increasing the LFF would result in a stronger filtering of Delta Waves, not a decrease.

Submit
53. Which of the following are characteristics of electricity? 

Explanation

Wires conduct electricity through the movement of electrons, which is a characteristic of electricity. Friction generates charges, which is another characteristic of electricity. Only the effects or actions of electricity can be seen, as electricity itself cannot be pointed to or seen.

Submit
54. Following calibration, visual review on the system reference should include:

Explanation

The visual review on the system reference after calibration should include a 30-second run without a notch filter. This is important because it allows for the assessment of the system's performance and accuracy without any filtering or adjustments. This baseline measurement helps to establish the system's raw output and identify any potential issues or discrepancies.

Submit
55. If Input 1 is -10 uV and Input 2 is -70 uv the difference and signal deflection is: 

Explanation

The correct answer is 60 uV, upward. This is because the difference between -10 uV and -70 uV is 60 uV. The signal deflection is upward because the second input (-70 uV) is lower than the first input (-10 uV), indicating an increase in voltage.

Submit
56. A 5Hz LFF Filter applied to a 5Hz wave will have what affect on the amplitude? 

Explanation

A 5Hz LFF (low-frequency filter) applied to a 5Hz wave will cut off the amplitude by 25%. This means that the filter will reduce the strength or intensity of the wave by a quarter of its original value.

Submit
57. In a Bipolar Montage the localization method is achieved by highest amplitude.

Explanation

In a Bipolar Montage, the localization method is not achieved by the highest amplitude. Instead, it is achieved by comparing the voltage difference between two electrodes placed on different parts of the body. This method helps to identify and localize specific electrical activity in the body, such as abnormal brain waves or muscle activity.

Submit
58. A faster display time is used to identify which of the folllowing?

Explanation

A faster display time is used to identify artifacts. Artifacts are unwanted or unintended signals that can appear on a display, often caused by external interference or technical issues. By using a faster display time, it becomes easier to distinguish between actual signals of interest and these artifacts, as the artifacts tend to be brief and transient in nature. This allows for a clearer and more accurate interpretation of the displayed data.

Submit
59. Receives the signal and amplifies it before it is relayed to the computer:

Explanation

The Digital Head Box is the correct answer because it receives the signal and amplifies it before relaying it to the computer. The other options listed do not perform this specific function. The Montage Selector is responsible for selecting different signal sources, the Amplifier only amplifies the signal, and the Analog to Digital Converter converts analog signals to digital format. Therefore, the Digital Head Box is the only option that fits the given description.

Submit

Explanation

The reference electrode in a referential montage is characterized by A1 & A2 positions.

Submit
61. When one input is positive and one negative or when inputs are very different:

Explanation

When one input is positive and one is negative, or when the inputs are very different, the operation that is performed is summation. Summation involves adding the two inputs together to get a combined result. This is because when one input is positive and the other is negative, their sum will be a combination of both values. Similarly, when the inputs are very different, their sum will reflect the magnitude and direction of both inputs. Therefore, in these scenarios, the correct operation to perform is summation.

Submit
62. A increase in leakage current is always a problem when considering patient safety.

Explanation

An increase in leakage current is not always a problem when considering patient safety. Leakage current refers to the small amount of electric current that flows from an electrical device to the ground. While high levels of leakage current can pose a risk to patient safety, not all increases in leakage current are problematic. Factors such as the type of equipment, its insulation, and the patient's condition should be taken into account when assessing the potential risks associated with leakage current. Therefore, the statement that an increase in leakage current is always a problem is false.

Submit
63. The maximum allowable chassis leakage current when the ground wire is disabled is: 

Explanation

The maximum allowable chassis leakage current when the ground wire is disabled is 300 uA. This means that when the ground wire is not connected, the maximum amount of current that can leak from the chassis is 300 microamperes. This limit is set to ensure the safety of the equipment and prevent any potential electrical hazards.

Submit
64. The higher the numerical value of sensitivity the higher the amplification recording.

Explanation

The statement is false because sensitivity refers to the ability of a recording device to pick up and detect small signals. A higher sensitivity means that the device can detect smaller signals, but it does not necessarily mean that the amplification recording will be higher. The amplification recording depends on the gain or amplification settings of the recording device, which can be adjusted independently of sensitivity.

Submit
65. The standard applied setting for a HFF is:

Explanation

The standard applied setting for a HFF is 70Hz. This frequency is commonly used as it provides a balance between smooth motion and reduced flickering on the screen. It is also compatible with most electronic devices and is widely accepted as the standard setting for HFF.

Submit
66. Increasing the HFF setting attenuates more faster frequencies.

Explanation

Increasing the HFF (High Frequency Filter) setting does not attenuate faster frequencies more. In fact, it does the opposite. Increasing the HFF setting actually attenuates slower frequencies more, while allowing higher frequencies to pass through with less attenuation. Therefore, the statement is false.

68. Unit of Voltage in EPs:

Explanation

The unit of voltage in EPs is nanovolts. This is because EPs, or evoked potentials, are very small electrical signals that are generated in response to specific stimuli. These signals are typically measured in the range of microvolts to nanovolts. Therefore, nanovolts is the most appropriate unit to measure the voltage in EPs.

Submit
69. Each of the 5 subdivisions present on an EEG printout represent how many milliseconds?

Explanation

Each of the 5 subdivisions on an EEG printout represents 200 milliseconds. This means that the printout is divided into equal time intervals of 200 milliseconds, allowing for the analysis and interpretation of brain activity during specific time periods.

Submit
70. Amplification is characterized in terms of:

Explanation

Amplification refers to the increase in the strength or power of a signal. It is characterized by two main factors: gain and sensitivity. Gain represents the amount of amplification applied to the signal, indicating how much the signal is boosted. Sensitivity, on the other hand, measures the ability of the amplifier to detect and respond to small input signals. Therefore, gain and sensitivity are the appropriate characteristics to describe amplification, as they capture both the level of amplification and the amplifier's responsiveness to weak signals.

Submit
71. Which of the following are benefits of a digital EEG?

Explanation

A digital EEG offers high fidelity recording, which means it can accurately capture and record brain activity with minimal distortion or loss of information. This is important for accurately diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions. Additionally, a digital EEG allows for enhanced EEG analysis, meaning that the recorded data can be analyzed and interpreted more effectively using advanced software and algorithms. This can lead to improved detection of abnormalities and patterns in the brain activity, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various neurological disorders.

Submit
72. Most cortical activity that is clinical interest falls in the range of about: 

Explanation

The correct answer is 1-30Hz. This is because most cortical activity that is of clinical interest falls within this frequency range. The brain's electrical activity, measured using electroencephalography (EEG), is typically categorized into different frequency bands. The delta (0.5-4Hz), theta (4-8Hz), alpha (8-13Hz), beta (13-30Hz), and gamma (>30Hz) bands are commonly studied. In clinical settings, abnormalities or changes in the brain's activity within the 1-30Hz range can provide valuable insights into various neurological conditions and disorders.

Submit
73. Which of the following are purposes of montages?

Explanation

Montages are used for spatial analysis of EEG (Electroencephalogram) signals. EEG is a technique used to measure the electrical activity of the brain, and montages help in analyzing the spatial distribution of this activity. Montages also involve spatial filtering, which is a process of enhancing or extracting specific features from the EEG signals by applying filters. Therefore, the correct answer includes both spatial analysis of EEG and spatial filtering as purposes of montages.

74. Which of the following are likely reasons a patient is more at risk of electricity? 

Explanation

The patient is more at risk of electricity because they are connected to multiple AC powered instruments, which increases the chances of electrical contact. Additionally, if the patient is weakened or comatose, they may not be able to react or move away from a dangerous electrical source. Furthermore, if the patient has a weak heart, they may be more susceptible to the effects of electrical shock.

75. Unit of Voltage in EEG:

Explanation

The unit of voltage in EEG is microvolts. EEG measures the electrical activity in the brain, which is typically in the range of microvolts. Millivolts and nanovolts are too small to accurately measure brain activity, while megavolts are too large and would likely cause harm. Therefore, microvolts is the most appropriate unit for measuring voltage in EEG.
