🔍 Can you identify the source of the noise on this image of MEP data? 💡 Notice that if you count the number of noise “spikes” seen in this image you’ll see ~12 spikes in 10 divisions. Some quick math (12 spikes x 10 divisions) tells us the cycles per second = 120Hz which is a harmonic of 60 cycle noise from surrounding equipment.

The image below shows EKG Artifact in EEG, Biological Noise. In this example, we will likely not be able to eliminate the biological noise entirely, but we can take steps to reduce it!

✅ Keep impedances low and balanced
✅ Ensure electrode wires don’t overlap EKG leads
✅ Bundle IONM cables neatly
✅ Avoid parallel runs next to non-IONM cables (like anesthesia or bed plug ins)
