1. A floating electrode for reading bioelectric signal from a biological canal, the floating electrode comprising a plurality of flexible conductive wires in communication with a signal processor, a portion of each flexible conductive wire being attached to an insert adapted to be inserted in the biological canal, a free floating portion of the flexible conductive wires being capable of independent movement in any direction over an outer surface of the insert when squeezed between the biological canal and the outer surface of a portion of the insert being inside the biological canal.
