Topographic EEG mapping methods.
After almost 40 years of research on EEG computer analysis, present clinical applications of this method remain limited. At the present time, EEG mapping is suited primarily for research. Despite the pitfalls of an uncritical application of EEG mapping, progress in clinical research made possible by EEG mapping techniques has been considerable. Some problems of data acquisition, display and statistical analysis are discussed in this paper. For headache research examination of the activated EEG, especially with photic stimulation, has greater diagnostic importance than mapping under resting conditions.
