Abstract (EN): The usefulness of computer analysis of EEG is exemplified here by using it as an instrument for fine measurement of the EEG epileptiform events. By using a PC-AT compatible microcomputer and a software package developed to record, analyse and display EEG signals, topograms and brain maps of epileptiform events are drawn. The characterisation of events in the scalp near potential epileptic focus and on the neighbouring areas is done. Studies of the origin and spreading of these epileptiform events over the location (EEG foci changing) can be correlated, with the clinical characteristics and evolution of focal epilepsy.
