Topographic Analysis of the EEG

  • Chapter
Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Brain

Part of the book series: Advances in Behavioral Biology ((ABBI))

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review the topographic analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG). In the space available this can only be done briefly and reference will be made to the work of several investigators using this method to illustrate both techniques and applications. Only the analysis of ongoing, so-called “background”, activity in man will be considered. For a more extensive account see Rémond (1960) and Petsche and Shaw (1972).
