Abstract

The response of two types of linear filters to sinusoidal bursts was calculated to demonstrate how filters can distort EEG waveforms. Results show that the wider the filter bandwidth the less is the distortion, and for a given bandwidth, the higher the filter order the greater the distortion. The response of a linear phase filter was also calculated to demonstrate that this type of filter can also cause waveform distortion, although it is normally less than that caused by Butterworth, Tchebychev and elliptic filters.

Electrophysiological studies of myoclonus.

As myoclonus is often associated with abnormally increased excitability of cortical structures, electrophysiological studies provide useful information for its diagnosis and classification and about its generator mechanisms. The EEG-EMG polygraph provides the most essential information about the myoclonus of interest. Jerk-locked back averaging and evoked potential studies combined with recording of the long latency, long loop reflexes are useful to further investigate the pathophysiology of myoclonus, especially that of cortical myoclonus. A recent advance in magnetoencephalographic techniques has contributed significantly to the elucidation of some of the cortical mechanisms underlying myoclonus. Elucidation of physiological mechanisms underlying myoclonus in each individual patient is important for selecting the most appropriate treatment of choice.

The application of electroencephalographic techniques to the study of human olfaction: a review and tutorial.

The use of a variety of electrophysiological techniques to determine the effects of odor on the nervous system is reviewed. Methods and problems associated with the collection of on-going EEG, chemosensory event-related potentials, and contingent negative variation data are discussed in depth as is the use of odors as modulators of brain potentials produced by other senses. In addition, the advantages of several seldom used EEG analysis techniques are discussed with respect to the unique problems of understanding olfaction.

Differences in the dynamics of frontal sharp transients in normal and hypoglycemic newborns.

OBJECTIVE: This study focuses on the characteristics of frontal sharp transients (FST), a normal variant of neonatal EEG, in newborns with hypoglycemia. METHODS: The EEG from 20 newborns with symptomatic hypoglycemia were compared with a control group of normal newborns matched by conceptional age. The dynamics of these transients were evaluated concerning sleep stages. The density, type and bilateral synchrony of FST were also calculated. The results were compared in the two groups by Student's t test. RESULTS: When compared with controls, hypoglycemic newborns have increased density of frontal sharp transients in all sleep stages but less bilateral synchrony (P<0.05). FST density was even higher in small for gestational age newborns. CONCLUSIONS: The data suggests that normal patterns of neonatal EEG as FST can be influenced by systemic disturbances.
