Abstract
The present invention is directed to an electrode for use in measuring low level signals amidst competing noise signals. The electrode includes an electrically non-conductive substrate having a closed loop of electrical conductive and adhesive material carried by the substrate which defines therein an open area on the substrate. A first electrically conductive terminal is embedded within the closed loop of electrically conductive and adhesive material. Within the open area is an inner mass of electrically conductive and adhesive material. The inner mass of electrically conductive and adhesive material is spaced from the closed loop. The electrode also includes a second electrically conductive terminal which is embedded with the inner mass of electrically conductive and adhesive material. The electrode includes a first contact device for making electrical contact with the first terminal and a second contact device for making electrical contact with the second terminal.
