ICU Monitoring
There is increased awareness the monitoring patients in the ICU with continuous EEG is relevant for improvement patient care, including prognostication. A potential drawback of the EEG is that visual analysis is time-consuming and not easy for non-EEG experts. We have developed several techniques to transform the EEG signal to a more intuitive interface, allowing quick review not only by neurologists, but also intensive care physicians and nurses.

Brain Symmetry Index
In various clinical situations, EEG asymmetries are observed. Examples include focal ischaemia and focal seizures. Also, during carotid endarterectomy, where EEG monitoring, EEG asymmetries warrant temporary shunting.
To assist in the visual analysis of these changes the Brain Symmetry Index (BSI) was developed. This is a normalized measure for EEG asymmetry, with a value ranging from 0 (complete symmetry) to 1 (maximal asymmetry). The BSI quantifies the difference in the mean spectral power of each hemisphere, and is a very sensitive and reliable measure for hemispheric asymmetries in the EEG.
