METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY EVALUATING AN ABSENCE EEG, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND EVALUATING DEVICE THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method for automatically evaluatingan absence EEG, wherein EEG curves are recorded by an evaluatingdevice and are evaluated by means of a computer of theevaluating device, wherein in the evaluation at least thecurrent stage of the absent state is determined from the EEGcurves by means of the computer on the basis of a stage divisionof the absence EEG, wherein stages of the depth of the absentstate are distinguished in the stage division, and wherein thecurrent stage is output, wherein a certain scheme of the stagedivision is selected by the computer from a plurality ofselectable schemes of stage divisions, which differ in thenumber of distinguishable stages of the absent state, and isused for the automatic performance of the stage division inorder to determine the current stage. The invention furtherrelates to a computer program for performing such a method andto an evaluating device for evaluating an absence EEG.
