ABSTRACT:
Topographic displays of brain electrical activity are produced from matrices of data derived from evoked potential (EP) and steady-state responses of skull transducers. In different aspects, EP responses are displayed at a variable frame rate, the rate of data sampling is sufficient to capture rapid transient events, difference matrices are derived as the difference between matrices corresponding to two different brain conditions, the baseline of the EP responses is zeroed based on the average prestimulus response, and the steady-state response is analyzed by Fourier transforms. In other aspects, statistical comparison matrices representing statistical differences between corresponding elements in two matrices are generated, a coefficient-of-variance matrix is generated, additional display matrices are temporally interpolated, response waveforms are previewed and tagged for elimination from further processing, the topographic maps are displayed on a video monitor with appropriate scaling of the data to the tones of the display, and additional display points are interpolated between the measured data points for display.
