[A semiconductor photostimulator for electroencephalography with USB control]

The paper contains a description of electroencephalography (EEG) photostimulator for examining the induced cerebral potentials. The device was designed to function within the EEG computer complexes; a high-intensity irradiation LED matrix is used as the light source. The 1.1 USB control bus serves as the communication interface; there is an extra external synchronization bus. It is possible to preset the frequency, brightness, on-off time ratio and pattern of light stimuli. A library of application programmer is supplied to monitor the photostimulation.
