Transmitting, analyzing and reporting EEG data

摘要

A method and system for acquisition, transmission, analysis, and analysis reporting of patient bioelectrical data, including electroencephalogram (EEG), computer-enhanced and expanded EEG (CEEG), dynamic brain mapping, evoked potentials (EP) and event related potential (ERP) data, with or without dynamic brain mapping, between a remote site where the physician and patient are located and a data collection and analysis center where the data can be analyzed by high-level computer analysis and/or expert technicians using an available communications channel. The EP, ERP and/or EEG data signals are gathered locally and transmitted using a local computer unit to control stimulus generation, data acquisition, and transmission functions. The high-level or computationally-intensive computer at the data collection and analysis center can also generate brain mapping analysis. The analysis results, along with statistical comparisons of the patient condition at the remote site with the data bases (normals, diagnostic groups, psychotropic drug data bases) at the receiving center are transmitted back over a communications channel to the remote site for display to the physician and patient.
