ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting information stored in the brain of a subject includes presenting to the subject in oddball series Probe, Target, and Irrelevant stimuli. The Probe stimuli are relevant to a situation under investigation; the Irrelevant stimuli are not; and the Target stimuli are identified to the subject as being noteworthy, and in response to which the subject is instructed to perform a task. The Target stimuli like the Probe stimuli are relevant to the situation under investigation. The method also includes detecting electrical brain responses for each of the stimuli; analyzing the responses for uncovering an event related brain potential; and comparing the Probe responses with the Target responses to determine whether the subject recognizes the Probes, and comparing the Probe responses with the Irrelevant responses to determine whether the subject does not recognize the Probes. Three exemplary headbands are disclosed for positioning electrodes at preferred locations on the subject's scalp for obtaining electrical responses therefrom.
