Title: Design criteria for an EEG Alpha Rhythm Monitor
Authors: Chin, Irvin Kenrick
Advisor: Kennett, T. J.
Department: Physics
Keywords: Physics;Physics
Publication Date: Sep-1977
Abstract: <p>Design criteria for construction of a device for monitoring the frequency of the alpha rhythm of the human EEG are presented in this thesis. Power spectral analysis is implemented on a minicomputer system and its limitations are illustrated. The need for a form of pattern recognition of alpha activity is revealed and satisfied subsequently by use of amplitude and duration discrimination. These techniques along with zero-crossing analysis constitute the main ideas which are recommended in the monitor design.</p>
