Abstract
The authors analyze an interference mode that can be responsible for the annoying 50- or 60-Hz signal pervasively present in many surface biopotential recordings. The cause is the presence of direct differential mode interferences that produce a drop in voltage across the body and are picked up by measuring electrodes. Experimental results show that either the capacitive coupling from the patient body to power lines or the magnetic induction inside the body are the origin of that interference
