A clinically oriented 32 channel Electroencephalogram (EEG) and evoked potential (EP) mapping system has been developed. The EEG and EP signals acquired from 32-channel electrodes are amplified by the pre-amplifier located near patient and are then tither amplified by main amplifier. An automatic artifact rejection scheme is employed using a neural network by which examination time is reduced substantially. Auditary and visual stimuli are used for the evoked potential mapping. A user-friendly graphical interface based on the Microsoft Window 3.1 is developed for the operation of the system. Statistical databases for the poop and individual comparisons are also included to support statistically based diagnosis.

To obtain 3-D topography of EEG records, we propose a new method based on the polygon mapping technique. The method has the low complexity to calculate the interpolation of the EEG records on the scalp and maintains the high resolution topography because the polygon technique performs the interpolation at the only vertexes of each polygon. We implemented the topographic system with 3D barycentric, 3D polynomial and spherical spline algorithms in a personal computer.

This study was carried to identify whether acupuncture at several meridian points can affect the human anesthesia or not using the EEG mapping. We observe the change in the brain wave patterns obtained by electroencephalogram after acupuncture. 1. It is concluded that the pattern of resting computerized EEG map in intact human is normal and acupunctuation at determined meridian points induced lesser narrow field of alpha activity, more extensive field of ${\delta}$, ${\theta}$ activity, father resulted in marked shift to cerebrofrontal dominance in field of ${\delta}$, ${\theta}$ activity by t-SPM. 2. It seems likely that acupunctuation at experimental meridian points acts on slight anesthesia or hypnosis.

뇌 활동의 전기적 신호인 뇌파(EEG)와 외부 자극에 대한 유발 전위(EP)를 측정하여 실시간으로 뇌지형도를 생성하는 real-time brain mapping system을 개발하였다. 측정 전극은 32채널을 사용하였고, EEG를 실시간 및 누적 주파수 분석을 통한 뇌파의 활성도 진단, EP를 측정하여 시각적/청각적 자극에 의한 유발 전위 분석을 할 수 있다. 본 시스템은 측정 대상군의 통계적 분석을 위한 Database를 구축하였고, 신뢰성 높은 뇌파 및 유발 전위 신호를 위하여 실시간 측정과정 및 측정 후 Data 검토과정에서 다양한 Artifact 제거 알고리즘이 도입되었다. 또한, 32 채널 Brain map을 구성하여 뇌파를 공간적으로 분석 가능하며, 시간 및 주파수의 증가에 따라 Brain map을 동영상화하여 시간적/주파수적 변화에 따른 분석이 가능하다.

Purpose: This study was designed to analyze the differences in cerebral cortex activity of the elderly after extracting the movement related cortical potentials (MRCPs) from electroencephalogram (EEG) during a concentric and eccentric contraction of the elbow joint flexors, and entering them into the brain-mapping program to make the images. Methods: Right-dominant normal elderly people were divided into an eccentric contraction group and a concentric contraction group. Then, their MRCPs were measured using EEG and sEMG, during an eccentric and concentric contraction. Then, they were converted into images using the brain-mapping program. Results: Eccentric contraction group's $C_3$ and Cz showed statistically higher mean values of MRCP positive potential than the concentric contraction group. Conclusion: Researching a cerebral cortex activity, using MRCP, would provide basic data for clinical neuro-physiological researches on aging or neural plasticity of patients with a central nervous system injury.

For measuring EEG with the international 10-20 electrode system on 16 channels, and to analyze the interrelationship between the original signals and the changed signals after the stimulation, we use the scent of lavender which stimulates the olfactory sense. Moreover, the effect of the scent stimulation to the brain is analyzed. The purpose of this analysis is to apply these results to the computerized mapping of the brain signals and to find possible ways of specifying the source of the brain signals through various medical applications.

The present study introduces a new cortical patch-based source model for EEG/MEG cortical source imaging to consider anatomical constraints more precisely. Conventional source models for EEG/MEG cortical source imaging have used coarse cortical surface mesh or sampled small number of vertices from fine surface mesh, and thus they failed to utilize full anatomical information which nowadays we can get with sub-millimeter modeling accuracy. Conventional ones placed a single dipolar source on each cortical patch and estimated its intensity by means of various inverse algorithms; whereas the suggested cortical patch-based model integrates whole cortical area to construct lead field matrix and estimates current density that is assumed to be constant in each cortical patch. We applied the proposed and conventional models to realistic EEG data and compared the results quantitatively. The quantitative comparisons showed that the proposed model can provide more precise spatial descriptions of neuronal source distribution.

EEG signal is analyzed by two methods, analysis by visual inspection of EEG recording sheets and analysis by quantative method. Generally visual inspection method is used in the clinical field. But this method has its limitation because EEG signal is random signal. Therefore it is necessary to analyze EEG signals quantatively to obtain more precise and objective information of neural and brain. In this paper, power spectrum of EEG signal was estimated by AR(AutoRegressive) model in the frequency domain. This process is useful as a preprocessing stage for tomographic brain mapping (TBM) at each frequency, band. As a method for estimating power spectral density of EEG signals, periodogram method, autocorrelation method. covariance method, modified covariance method, and Burg method are tested in this paper.

This study was carried to identify whether acupuncture of several acupuncture points can affect the brain and to observe which aspects appear in EEG mapping, using electroencephalography. Those results are as follows ; 1. The pattern of resting computerized EEG map in intact human is appered normal 2. Each Acupuncture in Kwan Weon or Jog Sam Ri meridian points bring about the increase in $\theta,\;\alpha-wave$ activity and at various area of the cerebrium and the decrease in $\delta,\;\beta-wave$ activity. It strands to reason that brain function is elevated On the other hand , synchronous acupuncture bring about the decrease of brain function in view of the decrease of $\delta,\;\theta-wave$ activity at frontal area, and the unstable brain state in view of the increase of $\beta-wave$ activity. 3. Acupuncture in Hyeon Jong meridian point bring about the increase of $\delta,\;\theta-wave$ activity at frontal area and $\beta-wave$ activity at temporal area. From these we deduce that brain function is declined and brain is unstable. Synchronous acupuncture with other meridian points reversly showed that brain function is elevated. 4. Synchronous acupuncture in Kwan Weon , Jog Sam Ri, Hyeon Jong bring about the decrease of the brain function and the unstable brain state, showing the pattern of increased $\delta,\;\theta-wave$ activity at frontal, parietal area, and increased $\beta-wave$ activity at temporal area.

In this paper, we present a method to evaluate source locations and distributed region which is specified brain activity, as indicated by locations and strengths of intracranial sources, using potential gradients of interpolation polynomials and topographic mapping of the EEG records. This method can analyze the variance of source temporally or spatially and leads to enable a quantitative evaluation of potential gradients drawing methods which is now being used in the clinic. In the result, we obtained the overall potentials distribution on the entire scalp and the information of potential source locations from the EEG records of a patient which was known to epilepsy.
