Computer-based digital systems offer advantages over traditional analog electroencephalography (EEG) by reducing artifacts and enabling advanced analysis. However, digital EEG introduces new challenges like aliasing and dynamic range issues.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Electroencephalography (EEG) has historically relied on analog paper-based systems for over 50 years.
  • Recent advancements have led to the increased adoption of computer-based digital EEG systems.
  • Digital systems present both improvements and new challenges compared to analog methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of analog versus digital EEG recording systems.
  • To highlight the new artifacts and technical considerations introduced by digital EEG.
  • To outline the advanced analytical capabilities enabled by digital EEG data.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical analog EEG recording techniques.
  • Analysis of signal processing in modern digital EEG systems.
