Abstract
A method is for determining electrode status information relating to an electrode in a differential voltage measuring system for measuring a bioelectric signal, the electrode status information indicating whether the electrode is connected or not connected. An embodiment of the method includes the acquisition of a temporal profile of an electric current flowing through a shunt resistor, wherein the shunt resistor is arranged in series with the electrode in an electric transmission path of the differential voltage measuring system, and the determination of the electrode status information on the basis of the temporal profile.
