Abstract

A system for unobtrusively measuring bioelectric signals developed by an individual includes multiple sensors, one or more of which constitutes a capacitive sensor attached to a holding device. The holding device serves as a mounting structure that holds sensors in place within a wearable garment. The holding device and sensors are horizontally and vertically adjustable relative to the garment, while the sensors are pressed against the individual and prevented from undesirable shifting upon movement of the individual.
