,ANSWER 1 · SOURCE 331
Why should an EEG amplifier have high input impedance?
A. To avoid attenuating the small EEG signal
CLINICAL RATIONALE
A. Correct. High input impedance allows accurate measurement of small biopotentials without excessive signal loss. B. Incorrect.
Electrode impedance still matters, especially when unbalanced. C. Incorrect. The goal is not to increase line noise. D. Incorrect. Filters
remain necessary for signal conditioning and display.
