Brain electrical activity mapping

Computer-enhanced analysis and display of electroencephalographic and evoked response studies. In evoked response studies, a stimulus (e.g., flashing light) is presented to the individual, and the responses are recorded electrically from scalp electrodes. Computers translate the information into a topographic, colored display of electrical activity over the surface of the brain. It is useful in diagnosing seizure disorders and may be helpful in assessing certain psychiatric disorders.
