Abstract:
A method for the projection of EEG data on the brain surface is proposed. The EEG data are obtained during the performance of mental tasks and represented as probability maps of power and coherence changes with respect to the averaged EEG at rest. The morphological data are obtained from 3D reconstructions of the brain by means of serial slices provided by an MRI scanner. Before scanning the positions of the EEG electrodes were marked by dummy electrodes of plexiglass filled with a contrast medium. Changes of power are color-coded and entered at the respective electrode positions, changes of coherence between the respective positions. The applicability of this procedure in the fields of psychology, psychiatry and neurology is discussed.
