Objective:
To determine whether divers with histories of neurological decompression illness are electroencephalographically distinguishable from non-divers.
Methods:
The electroencephalograms (EEGs) from 68 divers with histories of neurological decompression illness and 45 non-diver controls were examined independently by two clinical neurophysiologists.
Results:
The diver and non-diver groups were electroencephalographically indistinguishable.
Conclusion:
There is no electroencephalographic evidence for the existence of cerebral dysfunction in divers with histories of decompression illness.
