Quantitative EEG analysis in clinical settings.

Quantitative EEG techniques are becoming more available. Eventually, all EEG will be digital. Various digital utility programs can help even now with storage and viewing the polygraph EEG itself. Techniques of frequency analysis, topographic mapping and discriminant functions are also available but have limited clinical use. Applications as a monitoring tool and careful analysis of epileptic spikes have been shown some promise but need further study to identify their proper clinical roles.
