| 20090024017 | Electrophysiological sensor, weak electrical signal conditioning circuit and method for controlling said circuit - An electrophysiological sensor, weak electrical signal conditioning circuit and method for controlling the circuit as provided. The sensor includes rigid filiform conducting nanostructures connected to a conducting substrate and operable to penetrate an organic tissue. The circuit includes an instrumentation amplifier with an input connected to a first electrode in contact with a first area of a medium, and a second input; a voltage generating device connected to an electrode in contact with a second area of the medium for applying a continuous reference signal to it; a compensator, electrically insulated from the device, for compensating the direct current offsets of a weak electrical signal received by the first electrode, generating a signal with a reference voltage with a value which can be modified by a control system, and supplying it to the second input. A method is also provided for controlling the circuit. | 01-22-2009 |
