    Abstract: A system for mapping and/or displaying spatiotemporal features of underlying event-related neural activity involves measuring the event-related evoked potential values at a limited number of points over the region of interest, deriving a first grid of potential values at points over the area of interest representing at least about a five fold increase in the number of points by a Kriging-type of spatial statistical interpolation, and using the first grid to derive for the region of interest a second grid of points of current density values by a Laplacian conversion. A plurality of second grids of current density values spaced apart in time are derived and displayed on a monitor in cartoon-type fashion to provide a cartoon-type display of the features of the event-related evoked response over the region of interest varying with time. Various other displays are possible for highlighting specific features.

    Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for displaying and either inhibiting or promoting selected bioelectrical frequencies emitted by a living organism. The method includes the steps of detecting an analog bioelectrical signal, converting the signal to discrete digital signals representing corresponding frequencies and numerically analyzing the digital signals to determine the different bioelectrical frequencies emitted by the organism. Furthermore, a threshold amplitude associated with a selected digital signal can be established an auditory or visual signal can be sent to the organism to indicate whether the bioelectrical frequency under study is within or outside the threshold amplitude. With this information the organism can be taught to inhibit or facilitate the bioelectrical frequency. The apparatus comprises a pair of electrodes, an analog signal amplifier, an analog to digital converter, a selector to select a frequency of interest, a display monitor, and a computer to distinguish the digital signals as different frequencies, display the frequencies, and determine when the frequency is falling inside or outside a predetermined range. Also, a magnetic medium recording device is used to capture data. Finally, a lighting or sounding circuit is used to tell the organism whether the frequency under study is being inhibited or facilitated.

    Abstract: Mental activity of a human subject is indicated with electrodes placed on the head of the subject to respond to brain activity. The electrodes derive a signal including low and high frequency a.c. components respectively having frequency ranges in the same low frequency range as alpha waves derived by the brain and considerably higher than the highest frequency of the alpha waves. The high and low frequency amplitude components are supplied to an indicator arranged so the mental state activity is indicated only in response to the detected high frequency component having an amplitude less than a level indicative of the subject not being in a state of relaxation and the detected low frequency component having an amplitude greater than a first predetermined value and less than a second predetermined value. The low frequency amplitude between the first and second predetermined values is associated with the alpha waves.

    Abstract: Multiple monopolar electrical contacts are applied to the scalp or body, using other points on the body as reference and ground. The brain muscle or other bioelectric waves conducted from each contact, relative to the reference point, are amplified, filtered, and instantaneously analysed to produce a signal which may be perceived by the person or persons generating the bioelectric waves. This sensory feedback signal simultaneously may communicate to the generating party or parties the ongoing fluctuations in frequency, amplitude, and phase unity among two or more biological rhythms occuring within an individual, couple, or group of persons. The feedback signal may be used as an aid to establish awareness and control over the functions monitored, as an aid to meditation, as an aid to learning to flexibly and easily establish or dissolve the various states of attention and consciousness associated with the signaled characteristics of the monitored brainwaves or muscle potentials and as an aid to communication between neural systems within a person, i.e., lobes of the brain, muscle groups or between other nonverbal biological activities of two or more persons being monitored.
