ABSTRACT:
A brain wave monitoring device for monitoring brain wave activity measures the frequency and amplitude of brain wave signals from the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The brain wave signals are filtered and applied to an amplitude detecting device, and a frequency-to-voltage converter which employs a zero-crossing technique such that signal frequencies are detected independent of signal magnitude. The amplitude and frequency information is displayed on separate power and frequency displays on the front panel of the brain wave monitoring device. Each of the power and frequency displays employ a pair of linear LED arrays such that a "bar graph" of the amplitude and frequency of the brain waves is produced. Additionally, signals indicative of the power of the brain waves on the left and right hemispheres are selectively applied to a voltage controlled oscillator having an earphone output, such that the operator may listen for differences in amplitude between left and right hemisphere brain waves.
