Abstract :
In the present work an electrode configuration is presented that makes it possible to obtain reduction of artifacts when recording nerve signals monopolarly. Recordings were done in three different ways, tripolar, monopolar, and optimised monopolar. When comparing an optimised monopolar with a standard monopolar recording, where no artifact reduction takes place, stimulation artifacts are reduced to 16% and muscle artefacts to 14% of peak-peak amplitude
