Claim:
1. An interface for electrophysiological signals comprising: a set of electrode electrical connectors adapted to connect to electrical leads communicating between a patient and the interface; an analog-to-digital converter system providing multiple independent analog-to-digital converters; a computer controllable multiway switch connecting signals of the electrical connectors to different inputs of different analog-to-digital converters according to a computer signal for conversion of analog signals from the electrical connectors to digital signals; a data network receiving the digital signals and providing connectors adapted to connect the digital signals to medical devices requiring electrical signals from given sets of electrode electrical connectors; a control network system receiving requests from at least two given medical devices describing needed electrical signals from the set of electrode electrical connectors; and an electronic computer communicating with the control network system and executing a program stored in non-transitory medium to receive the requests from the given medical devices and to arbitrate among the requests to provide the computer signal to the computer controllable multiway switch to connect the given medical devices through the multiway switch to selected electrodes of the set of electrode electrical connectors.
