Dissection and Analysis of Electroencephalograms of Subjects Doing a Simulated Pilot's Task.

Abstract

A method for dissecting and analyzing electroencephalograms for the presence of any distinctive characteristics is presented. Data are presented which strongly indicate the presence of a preferred frequency, in the 70 - 95 Hz range, that is a characteristic of the performance of a simulated pilot's task. A conclusive test for the presence of wideband noise in the EEG is presented with data to show that wideband noise is characteristic of myograms. EEGs taken from two closely spaced electrodes located over the motor and premotor areas of the cortex show that tegules in the 70 - 95 Hz band are not simultaneous with tegules of any other band, except by chance.
