What would increase the resolution of EEG spikes and improve definition of the
waveforms?
a. applying 50/60 Hz filter
b. using a 100 uV input voltage
c. increasing sensitivity
d. increasing sampling rate - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ - increasing sampling rate
why; Advanced digital acquisition systems samples continuous signals at a fixed
rate, called a sampling rate. The Nyquist theorem states that a digital copy of a
signal can be completely reconstructed from samples made at a sampling rate
faster than twice the bandwidth of the highest frequency of the original data.
Sampling at a higher rate facilitates more accurate reconstruction of the signal.
EEG spikes, such as those seen in epileptiform activity, require a high sampling
rate to reconstruct the signal, enhance resolution and improve the definition of
the waveform.
