A simple electronic method for graphing EEG sleep patterns.

Abstract A simple method for graphing EEG sleep patterns is presented. The technique is essentially an analog write-out of a full-wave rectifier receiving a filtered mixture of delta and theta components of the EEG. This report gives the simple rectifier circuit and illustrates the method by comparing it to conventional visual interpretation.
