It is significant, in that you need to limit the DC response to minimise the muscle artefact offsets you see in the signal, but you also need to have a close to DC response to get the required heartbeat signal, and see problems with it. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
