Abstract
This article describes a low noise and ultra-high input impedance active electrode (AE) interface chip for dry-electrode EEG recording. To compensate the input parasitic capacitance and the ESD leakage, power/ground/ESD bootstrapping is proposed. This design integrates chopping stabilization technique to suppress flicker noise of the amplifier which has never been tackled in previous bootstrapped AE design. Both on-chip and off-chip input routing is active shielded to minimize wire parasitic. Fabricated in a 0.18μm CMOS process, the AE core occupies about 0.056mm<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and draws 17.95μA from a 1.8V supply. The proposed AE achieves 100GΩ input impedance at 50Hz and over 1GΩ at 1kHz with a low input-referred noise of 382nVrms integrated from 0.5Hz to 70Hz. This design is the first 100GΩ@50Hz input impedance chopper stabilized AE compared to the state-of-the-art. Dry-electrode EEG recording capability of the proposed AE are verified on three types of experiments including spontaneous α-wave, event related potential and steady-state visual evoked potential.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
