Abstract
Methods for analyzing and displaying EEG signals are discussed. The
increasing availability and affordability of powerful computer equipment
makes possible the use of ever more sophisticated signal processing
techniques, which extract relevant (but not readily discernible)
information from long-term EEG recordings and can easily identify
important features in the EEG. Whether these techniques are actually
taken up in clinical practice is heavily dependent on how well they
match clinical requirements. This article concentrates on requirements
set in the context of long-term recordings in the ICU that demand the
ability to process short-term discrete events as well as long-term trend
information. A huge range of potentially useful signal processing
techniques exists. This article illustrates the value of some of these
techniques for ICU signals using the EEG recordings collected during the
IMPROVE project
