ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for non-invasively estimating the intracranial pressures of a subject is provided. A sensory stimulus is directed towards the subject thereby generating electrical brain activity. A peak in the second negative-going wave of the brain activity is identified and the latency of such peak is measured. The intracranial pressure of the subject is estimated by comparing value of the latency with known latency/intracranial pressure correlations.
