Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Nick, I use the ActivEEG electrodes with the Pendant. I just hang the combination around the neck like a yoke, electrode box on one side and Pendant on the other. They counterbalance quite nicely. I know of one of our list members who is working on a device for holding both of them as well.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Hi Pete, I've been thinking about the ActivEEG electrodes and have a question: Is a signal that may be bad at the scalp, but cleaned up electronically with a preamp going to be as good (and accurate) as a signal that is clean and has low impedance right from the start? Also, have you seen the new electrodes that Diane has come up with and will you be evaluating them and making a comparison?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Actually I can back this up - there is a lot of info on the armour patient info leaflet, and I was looking at it last night - I noticed it said that on average 85% on T4 is deiodinated to T3, and so about 15% is useful for sommat!

The T4 directly affects the same receptors. The ones they compared, though, were those that changed TSH. In other words, T4 has about 15% of the potency of T3 to directly change TSH before conversion. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply less active than T3. It is actually more active than T2.Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
