    Linear and non-linear parameterization of EEG during monitoring of carotid endarterectomy

    No full text
    In this paper, new quantitative linear (HLF ratio: high frequency/low frequency spectral power ratio) and non-linear parameters (ZC: zero crossing and FD: fractal dimension) which can assist the physician in real-time decision whether a shunt is required or not during intra-operative EEG monitoring of carotid endarterectomy are presented. The results obtained with the new parameters are compared with those achieved by other indexes proposed in the literature. The HLF ratio and ZC parameters yielded the best results with a 100% of correct identification of both shunt and no-shunt situations. The ZC can be also easily implemented in the real-time monitoring of EEG

    Analysis of awake and sleep EEG in autistic children

    No full text
    In this study the characteristics of autistic EEG are explored by means of linear and fractal analysis on traces recorded in the awake state and during both light and deep sleep. Results are compared with those obtained from EEG assessment of children with mental retardation. Significant differences were found between the two groups, suggesting that EEG parameterization could be a powerful tool for early diagnosis of autism and effective intervention
