Tools for acquisition, processing and knowledge-based diagnostic of the electroencephalogram and visual evoked potentials.

The objective of our research is to develop computer-based tools to automate the clinical evaluation of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and visual evoked potentials (VEP). This paper describes a set of solutions to support all the aspects regarding the standard procedures of the diagnosis in neurophysiology, including: (1) acquisition and real-time processing and compression of EEG and VEP signals, (2) real-time brain mapping of spectral powers, (3) classifier design, (4) automatic detection of morphologies through supervised neural networks. (5) signal analysis through fuzzy modelling, and (6) a knowledge based approach to classifier design.
