ABSTRACT:
A system for mapping and/or displaying spatio-temporal features of underlying event-related neural activity involves measuring the event-related evoked potential values at a limited number of points over the region of interest, deriving a first grid of potential values at points over the area of interest representing at least a tenfold increase in the number of points by a Kriging-type of spatial statistical interpolation, and using the first grid to derive for the region of interest a second grid of points current density values by a Laplacian conversion. A plurality of second grids of current density values spaced apart in time are derived and displayed on a monitor in cartoon-type fashion to provide a cartoon-type display of the features of the event-related evoked response over the region of interest varying with time. Various other displays are possible for highlighting specific features.
