A method and apparatus for ascertaining the cerebral state of a patient. The method/apparatus may find use in ascertaining the depth of anesthesia of the patient. In one embodiment, the entropy of the patient's EEG signal data is determined as an indication of the cerebral state. A frequency domain power spectrum quantity is obtained from the patient's EMG signal data. The latter quantity can be updated more frequently than the EEG entropy due to its higher frequency. The EEG entropy indication and the EMG power spectrum indication can be combined into a composite indicator that provides an immediate indication of changes in the cerebral state of the patient. In another embodiment, the frequency range over which the entropy of the biopotential signal from the patient is determined is broadened to encompass both EEG signal data and EMG signal data and the entropy so determined used as an indication of the patient's cerebral state.

A system and method determines from EEG signals the lack of awareness and the depth of anesthesia of a patient to whom an anesthetic agent is being administered.

This system and method may also be used in an analysis of the brain function of a sleeping individual to distinguish between different levels of non-REM sleep, REM sleep, and awakeness.

A method for monitoring the depth of anesthesia is provided for detecting the conscious state of one being anesthetized in order to facilitate an anesthesiologist to predict exactly the dosage of an anesthetic required. At first, an original electroencephalogram (EEG) is taken from one being tested. Then, the original electroencephalogram is analyzed by approximate entropy to obtain its approximate entropy value. Next, the approximate entropy value is multiplied by 1000/17, and the corrected value is assumed as the predicted value of depth of anesthesia. The predicted value of depth of anesthesia represents degree of the conscious state or the depth of anesthesia for the one being tested. The higher the predicted depth of anesthesia value, the more conscious the one being tested is, i.e., in a shallower depth of anesthesia. On the other hand, the lower the predicted depth of anesthesia value, the less conscious the one being tested is, i.e., in a deeper depth of anesthesia.
