DISCRIMINANT
FUNCTIONS
Pattern
recognition programs
to provide a probability of the
detection of a pattern in the EEG that is commonly present in clinically defined
individuals such as Mild
Traumatic
Brain Injured Patients (University of Maryland
publication) and the Department
of Defense Discriminant Function and Learning
Disabled Children *
 
Please note that only EEG recorded
using a linked ears reference is to be used with the discriminant
functions. Some amplifier systems such as the Mitsar, Nicolet and
Neuroscan/NuAmp/Synamp amplifiers are not to be used to evaluate the discriminant
functions. Also, other constraints such as age must be adhered to as well
as a history of learning disabilities or a history of mild traumatic brain injury. The
TBI discriminant function is not designed to detect moderate to severe TBI, only
individuals with a history of Mild TBI should be evaluated with the TBI
discriminant function. Discriminant functions are not to be used for purposes of diagnosis, but rather
to confirm or disconfirm a hypothesis and to more deeply explore which aspects
of brain function may be contributing to a patient's symptoms and
complaints. Under FDA filings only competent and qualified individuals are
to use NeuroGuide and the discriminant functions.
