ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining the probability of ruminating behavior in a person of known age, sex and use of medication, is provided by generating and measuring a visually evoked response to a certain auditory and visually displayed paradigms and measuring the amplitude, in microvolts, of the evoked response for a period of time of approximately 500 milliseconds after cessation of the paradigm displays, and quantifying the absolute values of the delta, theta, alpha and beta frequency bands of a standard EEG, and applying this data to an algorithm to compute on the probability of ruminating behavior.
