"Method and system for electrode verification" was invented by John A. Cadwell (Richland, Wash.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An electrode management solution for neuromonitoring applications such as electroencephalography (EEG) procedures provides for the verification of the locations and connections of electrodes. The brain is modeled as a volume conductor and an expected attenuated signal generated by an electrical signal present in the form of an electrical dipole at any other point in the brain is calculated. A known signal is connected between electrodes at 'presumed' locations. This action generates ...
