Date Dec. 5, 1996In order to facilitate assessment of the activity of the brain by the medical practitioner, the description relates to a process for assessing electrically recorded brain activity in which a signal taken from a skull over a predetermined period at a predetermined scanning frequency is converted into a sequence of data words from which the amplitudes and the frequencies relating to each amplitude are extracted in a computer system in a predetermined pattern in such a way that intermediate data words are formed, each of which represents an amplitude and is stored under a store address determined by the frequency allocated to the intermediate data word, and those maximum intermediate data words of all of them are determined which are a relative maximum and a mean is drawn at each frequency from the maximum intermediate data words and all means with the relevant frequency are taken to a display device for representation in a frequency/amplitude curve.
