Patent ID: 8708905

Claim:
A method for monitoring the physiological state of a subject, the method comprising: acquiring EEG signals from a subject, wherein a first plurality of EEG signals are acquired from a left hemisphere and a second plurality of EEG signals are acquired from a right hemisphere; determining a third plurality of EEG signal parameters and a fourth plurality of EEG signal parameters, wherein the third plurality of EEG signal parameters are based on the first plurality of EEG signals and the fourth plurality of EEG signal parameters are based on the second plurality of EEG signals; producing signal information comprising at least one type of signal information selected from a group including (1) time series representatives for each of the third plurality of EEG signal parameters and for each of the fourth plurality of EEG signal parameters; and (2) signal waveforms of the first plurality of EEG signals and of the second plurality of EEG signals; selecting relevant signal information from the signal information by comparing the third plurality of EEG signal parameters with each other and by comparing the fourth plurality of EEG signal parameters with each other, wherein at least one EEG signal parameter is selected as the relevant signal information, wherein the selected at least one EEG signal parameter belongs to the third plurality of EEG signal parameters or to the fourth plurality of EEG signal parameters; defining a set of optimal parameters from the third plurality of EEG signal parameters and from the fourth plurality of EEG signal parameters based on subject-specific patient data; examining whether the set of optimal parameters is consistent with the at least one EEG signal parameter selected as the relevant signal information; displaying a primary screen page, thereby to make at least part of the signal information visible to a user; and revising the signal information visible to the user on the primary screen page to display the selected relevant signal information, wherein the revising is performed in response to the examining and without user interaction.
