Abstract

A power spectral analysis study was conducted to investigate the effects of using an electromagnetic motion tracking sensor on an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording system. The results showed that the sensors do not generate any consistent frequency component(s) in the power spectrum of the EEG in the frequencies of interest (0.1-55 Hz).
