Abstract

Objective and quantitative functional topodiagnostics is the core of neurootology. Recently topographic electroencephalography mapping has been added to our tool box of investigation methods. Recent technological advances, especially computerization, have helped to transfer this technique into clinical application. In neurootology we are using brain electrical activity mapping together with optokinetic, caloric, per- and postrotatory nystagmus tests as well as a projection of olfactory and gustatory stimulations. Further we apply BEAM for the classical evoked potentials of visual or acoustic origin. By means of this new visual and synoptic technique we get an additional good variety of response, which can be used for diagnostic purposes. This course will describe the principles of brain electrical activity mapping, the technique to accomplish the test and the information, which can be clinically gained.
