However, the gel-skin contact also creates motion artifacts, and the
Ag/AgCl electrodes cant do damn anything about it!

motion artifacts
Since body contours are often irregular, regularly shaped rigid electrodes
may not always work, particularly with infants. Polymer or nylon with silver
deposits, or carbon filled silicone rubber in the form of a thin film (Mylar film)

(a) Complete heart block. Cells in the AV node are dead and activity cannot pass from atria to ventricles.
Atria and ventricles beat independently, ventricles being driven by an ectopic (other- than-normal)
pacemaker. (b) AV block wherein the node is diseased (examples include rheumatic heart disease and
viral infections of the heart).
