title: Real-time detection of the EEG using a two-component wave model.
abstract: The EEG signal is modeled as consisting of faster, smaller waves superimposed on slower, larger waves. A program, written for the Data General Corporation NOVA series of minicomputers, is described. It performs the continuous detection, in real-time, of both wave types for a simple, quantified characterization of the EEG. The program was written as a special User Clock Routine which is part of a larger multitask package which also provides continuous real-time analysis of the EEG and provides simultaneous line printer, analog and graphical outputs.
