Is a pacemaker a problem for EEG?

I'd like to collect data from someone who has a pacemaker, but I'm concerned that it might provide too much interference. Does anyone have experience with this or suggestions for managing it? Or should I just pass on this particular individual?

Thanks for any insights you may have.

With all ActiveTwo electrodes on the head (for EEG), it is unlikely that you will pickup much interference from the pacemaker (or ECG). I see no reason to not give it a try.
