Bio potential electrodes are transducers that convert ionic currents in the body into electronic currents that can be measured by electronic equipment. They provide an interface between the body and measuring devices. At the electrode-electrolyte interface, ions carry current in the body while electrons carry current in the electrode. Electrodes change ionic current into electronic current to allow for measurement. Motion artifacts can occur when electrodes are disturbed, but can be reduced by using non-polarizable electrodes like silver-silver chloride electrodes.
