1. A system for monitoring brain electrical activity, comprising:

  • a set of electrodes;

    at least one auditory stimulus generator;

    a detection system operatively connected to the set of electrodes and configured to receive electrical signals detected by the electrodes after production of an auditory stimulus by the stimulus generator, the electrical signals representing an auditory evoked response; and

    a processor circuit including electrical circuitry configured to perform the steps of;

    removing artifact noise from the signal;

    performing a non-linear denoising step on the signal;

    performing a non-linear transform on the signal;

    producing a set of non-linear features related to the patient'"'"'s auditory brain stem response; and

    comparing the set of non-linear features to one or more feature sets stored in a storage system and determining if the non-linear features are indicative of an abnormal neurologic state.
