  • Publication number: 20220400995
    Abstract: The invention allows an accurate and automated method and system for determining an intrinsic frequency of an EEG band of a person. Intrinsic frequency values (specifically the intrinsic alpha frequency (IAF)) are used to diagnose mental disorders and detect brain anomalies in a person. At present, these estimates are inaccurate for the population that has EEG with low energy in the EEG band. By combining the EEG recording with a stimulus (e.g., light, sound, touch, etc., or a combination), it is possible to determine the IAF, due to the resonant properties of the brain.
