Method for the spatial mapping of functional brain electrical activity

摘要

The present invention discloses methods and systems for monitoring and evaluating brain electrical activity. Methods are provided for obtaining local synchrony information relating to regions of a brain. Methods are provided that include obtaining EEG information from an infant subject, and using the obtained EEG information in obtaining local coherence information. A mathematical technique or computer algorithm can be used to process the EEG information in order to reduce residual volume conduction error in the obtained local coherence information.
