A new system for automatic interpretation of the awake electroencephalogram(EEG) was developed in this work. We first clarified all the necessary items for EEG interpretation in accordance with an analysis of visual inspection of the rhythms by a qualified electroencephalographer (EEGer), and then defined each item quantitatively. Concerning the automatic interpretation, we made an effort to find out specific EEG parameters which faithfully represent the procedure of visual interpretation by the qualified EEGer. Those specific EEG parameters were calculated from periodograms of the EEG time series. By using EEG data of 14 subjects, the automatic EEG interpretation system was constructed and compared with the visual interpretation done by the EEGer. The automatic EEG interpretation thus established was proved to be in agreement with the visual interpretation by the EEGer.

A full automatic interpretation of awake electroencephalogram (EEG) had been developed by the authors and presented at the past KACCs in series. The automatic EEG interpretation consists of four main parts: quantitative EEG interpretation, EEG report making, preprocessing of EEG data and adaptable EEG interpretation. The automatic EEG interpretation reveals essentially the same findings as the electroencephalographer's (EEG's), and then would be applicable in clinical use as an assistant tool for EEGer. The method had been developed through collaboration works between the engineering field (Saga University) and the medical field (Kyoto University). This work can be understood as an artificial realization of human expert skill. The procedure for the artificial realization was summarized in a methodology for artificial realization of human skill which will be applicable in other fields of systems control.

A new method for making automatic electroencephalogram(EEG) report based on the automatic quantitative interpretation of awake EEG was developed. We first analysed a. relationship between EEG reports and quantitative EEG interpretation done by a qualified electroencephalographer(EEGer) for 22 subjects. Based on the analysed relationship and usual process of report making by the EEGer, we defined all terminology necessary for EEG report and established rules for EEG report making. By the combined use of the proposed EEG report making and the method for automatic quantitative EEG interpretation presented at '90 KACC, we were able to make the automatic EEG reports which were equivalent to the EEG reports written by the EEGer. As all the procedures were programmed in a personal computer equipped with an AD (analogue-to-digital) converter, the automatic EEG reports were obtained in almost real time in usual actual EEG recording situation with only a few seconds time lag for the analysis in the computer. The proposed report making method and the quantitative EEG interpretation method will be effectively applicable to the clinical use as an assistant tool for physicians.

The automatic interpretation of awake background electroencephalogram (EEG), consisting of quantitative EEG interpretation and EEG report making, has been developed by the authors based on EEG data visually inspected by an electroencephalographer (EEGer). The present study was focused on the adaptability of the automatic EEG interpretation which was accomplished by the constructive neural network with forgetting factor. The artificial neural network (ANN) was constructed so as to give the integrative decision of the EEG by using the input signals of the intermediate judgment of 13 items of the EEG. The feature of the ANN was that it adapted to any EEGer who gave visual inspection for the training data. The developed method was evaluated based on the EEG data of 57 patients. The re-trained ANN adapted to another EEGer appropriately.

The automatic detection of artifacts and vigilance level as for pre-processing of the automatic EEG interpretation are discussed. The equations for detecting artifacts and vigilance level were determined such that they would conform to the procedures that an EEGer (one of the authors, H.S.) usually adopts for visual inspection of the actual EEG record. The automatic EEG interpretation was found to be improved by the newly developed pre-processing method even will artifact contamination or in drowsy condition of the subjects.

A new system for automatic scoring of 'organization' of the EEG dominant rhythm was constructed and applied to 18 normal subjects and 15 patients. Organization parameters which best represented the 'organization' as judged by 5 neurologists' visual inspection were calculated and the automatic organization scoring was obtained by a linear regression of those organization parameters. Furthermore, values of the regression coefficients were used to study the characteristics of EEG interpretation by each neurologist, and this scoring technique can also be applied to the training of EEG interpretation.

A method for automatically selecting the electroencephalogram(EEG) segments was developed by grading each segment based on organization of EEG, vigilance level, open versus closed eyes condition and the artifact contamination.

Multi-valued decision making for transitional stochastic events was newly derived based on conditional probability of database. The two values (on-off) decision making method without transition had been proposed by one of the author in a previous work for a purpose of realizing human on-off decision making. The current method is an extension of the previous on-off decision making. By combining the conditional probability and the transitional probability, the closed form of the algorithm for the multi-valued transitional decision making was derived. The proposed multi-valued decision making was successfully applied to the determination of the five levels of the vigilance of a subject during the EEG recording; awake stage, drowsy stage and sleeping stages (stage 1, stage 2/3, REM (rapid eye movement)). The method for determining the vigilance level can be directly usable for the two purposes; selection of awake EEG segments for automatic EEG interpretation, and determination of sleep stages through sleep EEG. The proposed multi-valued decision making with a mathematical background of the probability can be applicable widely, in industries and in medical fields for purposes of the multi-valued decision making.

Finding epileptogenic zone is the most important step for the successful epilepsy surgery. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can be used in the localization of epileptogenic foci. In medial temporal lobe epilepsy, the diagnostic sensitivity of FDG-PET and ictal SPECT is excellent. However, detection of hippocampal sclerosis by MRI is so certain that use of FDG-PET and ictal SPECT in medial temporal lobe epilepsy is limited for some occasions. In neocortical epilepsy, the sensitivities of FDG-PET or ictal SPECT are fair. However, FDG-PET and ictal SPECT can have a crucial role in the localization of epileptogenic foci for non-lesional neocortical epilepsy. Interpretation of FDG-PET has been recently advanced by voxel-based analysis and automatic volume of interest analysis based on a population template. Both analytical methods can aid the objective diagnosis of epileptogenic foci. Ictal SPECT was analyzed using subtraction methods and voxel-based analysis. Rapidity of injection of tracers, ictal EEG findings during injection of tracer, and repeated ictal SPECT were important technical issues of ictal SPECT. SPECT can also be used in the evaluation of validity of Wada test.

목 적：1단계 수면은, 입면 시점과 관련하여 수면다원기록의 해석에 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 1단계 수면은 각성 상태에서 수면 상태로의 짧은 전이 기간으로, 특징적인 지표가 없어 디지털 분석을 통한 수면 단계 결정에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는, 뇌파와 안전도에 대한 디지털 분석을 통하여 1단계 수면을 자동으로 탐지하는 프로그램을 개발하고자 하였다. 방 법：야간수면다원기록 중 검사 시작 시점부터 2단계 수면이 출현하기 이전의 자료를 분석하였다. 뇌파의 스펙트럼 분석을 통해 알파파와 세타파의 상대 파워를 계산하였고, 알파파의 상대 파워가 50% 이하, 세타파의 상대 파워가 23% 이상일 경우 1단계 수면 판정의 기준 변수로 하였다. 또 안구운동의 지속시간이 1.5초에서 4초 사이에 있는 경우에 느린 안구운동(SEM)으로 판정하고 1단계 수면 판정의 기준변수로 하였다. 이 들 세 기준 변수들을 고려하여 해당 판독단위에 대해 각성 혹은 1단계 수면으로 최종 판정하였다. 결 과：연구 대상자는 7명으로 모두 남성이었으며, 23세였다. 개발된 프로그램을 이용하여 169개의 판독단위를 분석하였다. 기준과의 일치도는 79.3%였으며, 카파값은 0.586이고, 통계적으로 유의하였다. 느린 안구운동은 169개의 판독단위 중 54개(32%)에서 나타났으며, 70.4%의 일치도를 보였다. 결 론：기존 연구의 디지털 분석을 통한 수면 단계 판정의 일치도는 70%이다. 본 프로그램의 일치도 79.3%는 기존 연구 결과에 비해 향상된 것이며, 본 프로그램이 1단계 수면 판정에 유용하다고 판단된다. 뇌파 외에 안전도를 고려한 다중적 접근이 일치도 향상에 기여했을 것으로 생각되며, 1단계 수면 판정에 있어 안전도의 중요성을 확인할 수 있었다.
