ABSTRACT:
Embodiments include methods and apparatus for determining whether a neurological event has occurred in a subject. An apparatus includes at least one sensor adapted to sense electroencephalogram signals from the subject. The apparatus also includes an electroencephalogram acquisition module adapted to receive the electroencephalogram signals from at least one sensor, and a processing and analysis module adapted to receive signals from the electroencephalogram acquisition module and determine changes in neurological function using entropy analysis.
