Abstract:
The present invention discloses methods and systems for monitoring and evaluating brain electrical activity. Methods are provided for obtaining local synchrony information relating to regions of a brain. Methods are provided that include obtaining EEG information from an infant subject, and using the obtained EEG information in obtaining local coherence information. A mathematical technique or computer algorithm can be used to process the EEG information in order to reduce residual volume conduction error in the obtained local coherence information.
