Electroencephalogram acquisition unit and system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electroencephalogram acquisition unit (AU) for use by an AU operator, each AU comprising:
- a parameter storage for storing a database of electroencephalogram parameter data; and
an access module coupled to the parameter storage for limiting access by the AU operator to the parameter storage.

Abstract
An acquisition unit is provided which provides a turn-key interface to the non-expert personnel who routinely attend acutely brain-injured victims, preventing change or modification of the electroencephalogram parameters by the field technician, while at the same time allowing extensive control over parameters by a remote expert EEG reader; and a method and system is provided using the template and acquisition unit of the present invention with one of a plurality of remote readers who are part of a network of trained EEG readers.
