Bioengineering Signals and Systems
A reference electrode is a stable and known electrode potential used as a comparison point for measuring the potential of another electrode in electrochemical measurements. It provides a consistent baseline for voltage measurements, ensuring accuracy and reliability in signal acquisition, particularly in bioengineering applications like electromyography (EMG). This allows for better interpretation of biological signals by reducing noise and variations caused by environmental factors.
congrats on reading the definition of reference electrode. now let's actually learn it.
