Q33. Which artifact appears due to electrode movement?

Correct Answer: C

Motion artifacts arise from shifting electrodes.

Q34. Fourier Transform converts time-domain signals into:

Correct Answer: A

FT converts signals to frequency domain.

Q35. The frequency range of EEG is approximately:

Correct Answer: A

Electroencephalograms (EEG) have a frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 100 Hz. EEG measures brain electrical activity using electrodes placed on the scalp. These signals are divided into different frequency bands. Delta waves (0.5–4 Hz) are linked to deep sleep. Theta waves (4–8 Hz) occur during light sleep or relaxation. Alpha waves (8–13 Hz) are seen in a calm, awake state. Beta waves (13–30 Hz) are related to active thinking and focus. GAMMA WALES (30–100 Hz) are associated with higher mental activity, such as problem-solving and perception.

Q36. EMG signals are generated during:

Correct Answer: B

EMG arises from muscle contractions.

Q37. Which of the following is NOT a biomedical signal?

Correct Answer: D

UV light is not a biomedical signal.

Q38. Which noise is NOT typically encountered in biomedical signals?

Correct Answer: D

Cosmic noise is negligible here.

Q39. Which is the simplest digital filter?

Correct Answer: C

Moving average filter is simplest.

Q40. Signal conditioning typically involves:

Correct Answer: A

Signal conditioning amplifies and filters signals.
