Evoked Cortical Potential Somatosensory evoked potential Auditory evoked potential Visual evoked potential EEG in Normal Healthy people Voltage Frequency 50mV 8~13 Hz 5~20mV 14~30Hz 100~150mV 4~7Hz 20~200mV 3.5 Hz α waves: Occur when a person is awake, relaxed with eyes closed Alpha Waves (Alpha rhythm) Definition: Replacement of the alpha rhythm by an asynchronous, low-voltage beta rhythm when opening the eyes Alpha Block (Arousal response) β waves (Fast waves): Higher-frequency but lower-voltage waves produced by visual stimuli mental activity in “fast wave sleep” Indicating the excited state of cerebral cortex Beta Waves θ waves: More regular with higher-voltage but lower-frequency Normally occurred in children some adult with emotional stress, disappointment or frustrated Main waves indicating the person in sleepy state Theta Waves δ waves (Slow waves): High-amplitude but low-frequency waves Occur during very deep sleep in adult awake infant If occurred in awake adults, indicating a very serious organic brain disease Delta Waves Synchronous: The neurons activity of cerebral cortex is in step, represent a kind of low frequency but high voltage waves Indicating the further suppression Asynchronous: The neurons activity of cerebral cortex is out of step, represent a kind of high frequency but low voltage waves Indicating the further excitation Synchronous Asynchronous Clinical Correlate Epilepsy Definition: Epilepsy also called seizures, is characterized by uncontrolled excess activity of either part or all of the central nervous system Classified into three types: Grand mal epilepsy Petit mal epilepsy Focal epilepsy Grand mal epilepsy: Characterized by extreme neuronal discharges in all areas of the brain, last from a few seconds to 3 to 4 minutes Neuronal discharge transmitted all the way into the spinal cord cause tonic seizures of the entir
