12�1 Sensing Channels The Trackit M is a 32-channel electroencephalographic system comprised of 29 EEG sensors and three differential sensing channels. The 29 EEG sensors are organized into 6 groups of signals. Five of the groups correspond to rostral to caudal lines within the standard 10/20 system (Left Temporal, Left Parasagittal, Midline, Right Parasagittal, and Right Temporal).
12�7 Filtering The Trackit M utilizes a minimal amount of hardware filtering to allow the maximum amount of flexibility for a given application. Hardware filtering consists of an RFI filter to eliminate high frequency RF noise, a Low Frequency (High Pass) Filter to eliminate very low frequency DC components, and an anti-aliasing filter at the Analog to Digital Converters.

RF transmitters, and electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measureed field strength in the location in which the Trackit M is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Trackit M should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Trackit M.
