1. An apparatus for determining the presence or absence of a condition at a test site on a human or animal subject by measuring DC electrical biopotentials at said test site comprising:

  • an electrode sensing assembly to detect DC biopotentials and provide output test potentials indicative thereof, said electrode sensing assembly including at least two DC biopotential sensing electrode pairs adapted for contact with the subject to detect DC biopotentials present in the area of said test site and to provide test potentials as a function of said detected biopotentials, and processing means connected to receive said test potentials provided by said sensing electrode pairs, and including neural network means programmed to detect a pattern of potentials indicative of the presence of said condition, said processing means operating to receive and process said test potentials to determine the presence or absence of said condition by operating to receive a plurality of test potentials from said sensing electrode pairs and to average said test potentials to obtain a plurality of average potentials, said processing means operating to provide said plurality of averaged potentials to said neural network means.
