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

    • Direct Current

    • Alternating Current

    • Static 

    • Magnetic

    Correct Answer
    A. Alternating Current
    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.

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

    • True 

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True 
    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.

    The longest time constant corresponds with the lowest LFF setting. 

    • True 

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True 
    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.

    The formula for calculating sensitivity is:

    • S= A/V

    • S= V/A

    • V= A/S

    • A= S/V

    Correct Answer
    A. S= V/A
    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.

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

    • Roll off, 40%

    • Roll off, 50%

    • Cut off, 65%

    • Cut off, 50%

    Correct Answer
    A. Roll off, 50%
    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%".

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

    • 1-50Hz

    • 1-25Hz

    • 1-70Hz

    • 1-65Hz

    Correct Answer
    A. 1-70Hz
    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.

    The standard EEG paper speed is:

    • 25 mm/sec

    • 30 mm/sec

    • 35 mm/sec

    • 40 mm/sec

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 mm/sec
    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.

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.

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

    • Digital Head box

    • Montage Selector

    • Analog to Digital Converter

    • Amplifier

    Correct Answer
    A. Analog to Digital Converter
    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.

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

    • Macroshock

    • Microshock

    • Let-Go Current

    • Staticshock

    Correct Answer
    A. Macroshock
    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.

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

    • Gain

    • Amplitude

    • Sensitivity

    • Frequency 

    Correct Answer
    A. Sensitivity
    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.

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

    • Low to high amplitude

    • Medium to high amplitude

    • Low to medium amplitude

    • High amplitude

    Correct Answer
    A. Low to medium amplitude
    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.
