Excel Sheet Running In The Background
Copy the statistics that pop up after each segment of a session highlight statistics– hit ‘Ctl
C’ –pull up the exel –hit ‘Ctl V’ to paste the stats in excel.
Above figure shows statistics shaded. Then we hit Ctl-C.
To make important statistics stand out, click the row number of the most important
statistics for that client (might be theta for a child or high frequency beta for an adult) and
then, on top right in the paint can icon, you select a colour and it will highlight that row
in that colour. The client can then easily follow how that particular statistic is changing
with time.
Below is an Excel sheet with several rows highlighted. This was the first day. Each day
more columns of figures would be added. After a period of time we could pick those days
and those bandwidths and/or ratios that we would like to see in a graph. Then choose the
type of graphic display we want and print this out for the chart. Below we chose the
coloured lines. The client had huge eye blinks. In ‘1’ they were removed by artifacting. In
‘3’ there were bursts of 20 Hz and 26 Hz spindling beta accompanied by feeling tense
and a marked drop in 11-12 Hz alpha and 13-15 Hz SMR. Always ask “why” and look at
the raw EEG if you see large changes like those shown in ‘3’ below.
