This site is dedicated to Clinical Neurophysiology.
Updated 1/1/08
A new version of the ATLAS is available which has facilities for displaying a map of the EEG potential field at a given instant and a facility which allows you to obtain an estimated display of the frequency spectrum of a segment of any channel of the displayed page.
You will not need a password to view these records as no clinical or report data are available.
If you view these records and try the 'Field'or 'Spectrum' facilities please let me know what your experience has been like.
The main ATLAS is now available on the EPTA website.
This is a collection of clinical EEG records which can be
examined and manipulated in detail.

You will need a username and password in order to access the Atlas
because it is only available to registered individuals
who will generally be Health Care professionals or research workers
in relevant fields.
Protection is required for reasons of confidentiality - Patients in
general agree for their records to be made available for teaching,
but would not necessarily be happy for records to be generally
available on the Web.
If you would like to register, please send an email to me hrat@btinternet.co.uk
Please include the following details in your email:-
If you are a teacher it may be convenient for yourself and all your students to share a single username/password.
An additional example of Web viewing is "EP Display" (This is a display of averaged evoked potentials not an EEG.)
I have also included an illustration The Homeostat from a paper entitled "Chaos in
the EEG" which I hope to publish later.
This is included here largely to illustrate the reason
why I have decided not to provide a 'scrolling' display of the EEG.
At least on my computer the display is too slow and irregular to be
of use, except as an animated illustration like the one seen
here.
