Quantitative analysis method of electroencephalography for the evaluation of back ground activity
Abstract
Introduction: Electroencephalography (EEG), is a diagnostic method, involving registration and analysis of electrical signals arisen from brain and gives information about abnormal electrical activities' localization, intensity and distribution. EEG may be evaluated as visual, and subjective in other words quantitative, due to individual's experience and knowledge, nevertheless, it may be evaluated by aid of computer, and numerical datas, as objective, namely qualitative. In this trial, researching the functionality of “Fast Fourier Transformation” method was aimed, which is an quantitative analysis method of bacground activity, based on numerical data. Material and Methods: Seventy three cases which applied to Ege University, Department of Neurology, because of structural lesions and/or seizures were admitted to trial. Cases were seperated into groups, corresponding to clinical and radiological findings. For each group, background activities of cases were evaluated by quantitative and qualitative methods. Analysis of cases background activities, adaptation by radiological findings were evaluated. Analysis results of cases were compared with control group. Results: Quantitative background activity analysises of ıschemic serebral and nonischemic cortical structural Lesion groups were harmonious with radiological findings, and have expressive localization value Conclusion: Analysis of background activity by quantitative methods, may be a simple, reliable method for localization of cortical, focal lesions.
