Hi!<br>
<br>
I think it is strange the range of frequencies for filtering and the
association with dB.<br>
Could it be that the information provided by the company building
was making reference to the acoustic isolation for the cage/room?<br>
<br>
As far as I know when a shielded room or cage is builded not
especific filters for electrical frecuencies are used. What it is a
requirement is to make a good earth and to provide some acoustic
shielding. I think the values refer to the later.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>EEG signal range is 1-500Hz. Not even kiloHertz. Because of

<div>The most problematic environmental artifact is 50/60Hz line
noise. This is hard to shield because of low frequency. I

<div>I've seen labs that is not shielded. Their data tend to
