APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING MOTION ARTIFACTS IN BIOPOTENTIAL ELECTRODES
First Claim
1. A sensor assembly for reducing motion artifacts, the assembly comprising:
- (a) an opening on the face of said assembly;
(b) an elastic material at least partially covering said opening for suspending objects above said opening; and
(c) a sensor in communication with said elastic material wherein said sensor is suspended over said opening so that said sensor may be moved in the direction of said opening so that it at least partially recesses into said opening when said sensor is positioned against a subject;
(d) wherein the tension on said elastic material generates a force on said sensor directed towards said subject as said elastic material is stretched.

Abstract
An assembly for reducing motion artifacts that includes an opening on the face of the assembly, an elastic material at least partially covering the opening for suspending objects above the opening, and a sensor attached to the elastic material wherein the sensor is suspended over the opening so that the sensor may be moved in the direction of the opening so that it at least partially recesses into the opening when the sensor is positioned against a subject. The tension on the elastic material generates a force on the sensor directed towards the subject as the elastic material is stretched. Methods and systems of reducing motion artifacts including methods and systems using the assembly are also claimed.
