For the visual evaluation of the EEG in children (awake) 17 items are formulated and defined. They are to be examined and determined as beeing either optimal or non-optimal, as it is easier to define what is optimal, than what is normal. The non-optimal items are summed up for a total score. It could be shown that this score discriminates between sample groups of 50 children each, one with "minimal brain dysfunction" and another with normal controls of the same age and sex. There are also several distinct differences within the particular items. The objectivity of the items was proved by fourfold examination of the same sample group. The concept of optimality therefore offers a valid and objective method of quantifying the visual EEG evaluation, thus improving the interpretation of minor abnormalities in the EEG.
为对儿童（清醒状态下）脑电图进行视觉评估，制定并定义了17项指标。这些指标需检查并确定为最佳或非最佳状态，因为定义最佳状态比定义正常状态更容易。将非最佳指标的得分相加得到总分。结果表明，该分数能够区分每组50名儿童的样本组，一组为“轻度脑功能障碍”儿童，另一组为年龄和性别相同的正常对照组儿童。在各个具体指标之间也存在一些明显差异。通过对同一样本组进行四次检查，证明了这些指标的客观性。因此，最佳状态的概念为量化脑电图视觉评估提供了一种有效且客观的方法，从而改善了对脑电图轻微异常的解读。
