Objective assessment of the degree of improvement or deterioration with patients by means of Ipsative Trend Analysis of resting electroencephalograms

About three decades ago we had begun to conceptualize a quantification procedure based on the Spontaneous Resting EEG (SR-EEG). The underlying idea was to objectify clinical improvement or deterioration at the single case level [1 –3,25,26]. The data were acquired from EEGs being recorded under resting conditions. The underlying idea was due to Jackson’s Global Cerebral Function (GCF) or the principle of hierarchically organized functional levels and its dynamics. The latter were calculated from spatio-temporally defined EEG-patterns according to the staging by Loomis et al.
