Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop the method for objective evaluation of differences in alternation variability of isopotential areas in the EEG maps sequences for activity episode. The method was based on the analysis of EEG map images histograms and concerns the evaluation of the isopotential areas changes. The principle of the present method is analysis of the ratio of extreme isopotential areas and of the dispersion of values of extreme isopotential areas. The method was tested on sequences of amplitude maps for 17 subjects with seizure episodes with different characteristics divided into two groups. Visual evaluation of obtained results confirms that ratio of extreme isopotential areas and coefficients of the symmetry and elongation of extreme isopotential areas values dispersions may be useful for describing the variability of EEG maps. Influence of the potential range scale of EEG maps on the quantitative estimation of the isopotential areas variability was also analyzed.
