ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for screening patients for nervous system dysfunction including neurological capacity and dysfunction. A patient profile of actual functional activity of a brain of a patient is produced and compared with at least one marker. The marker is a profile of predetermined functional activity at a plurality of sets of predetermined coordinates of a given brain geometry.
