A software system for syntactic analysis of the EEG.

This paper describes an interlocking set of programs used for syntactic analysis of the electroencephalogram. This system constitutes a basic set of programs in the Vanderbilt EEG analysis system (VEAS). The concepts underlying the methods are explained and examples of the use of the system are given. The algorithms employed for spatial, temporal and global parsing of 'EEG sentences' are presented and examples of the use of various grammatical rules are described.

Determination of unbound L-tryptophan in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.

An assay for the measurement of unbound L-tryptophan concentrations in plasma was developed using reverse-phase HPLC with fluorescence detection. Unbound L-tryptophan from plasma was obtained using the Amicon MPS-1 ultrafiltration device. L-tryptophan binding to the membrane in the ultrafiltration device was not significant. A linear relationship between the peak-area ratios (peak-area of L-tryptophan to internal standard) and concentrations of L-tryptophan was obtained in the range of 0.1 microgram/mL to 2.5 micrograms/mL. The intra-assay precision was less than 10% for each control (0.18 microgram/mL, 0.75 microgram/mL and 2.0 micrograms/mL). The inter-assay precision was less than 15% for each control; the accuracy for each control; the accuracy for each control, expressed as percent difference from nominal (%DFN), was less than 12%. This method was used to determine unbound L-tryptophan concentrations in plasma from nine male subjects who participated in a clinical study.
