Abstract: A heart monitoring device (10) for use under emergency conditions including a portable housing, a pair of electrodes (20) and a pair of electrical wires (22) connecting the electrodes to the housing and to an electrical circuit carried therein. The electrodes are usable in two modes. One mode is a precordial mode wherein the electrodes are mounted on the exterior of the housing in commonly outwardly facing relation so as to be conveniently engageable with the skin of the chest of a user by manually engaging the housing and moving it with the electrodes fixed thereto into housing retained operative positions on the chest skin. The second mode is a non-precordial mode wherein the electrodes are removed from the housing and, preferably, self-retained within the armpits.

Abstract: Apparatus (20) is disclosed for use with one or more subjects simultaneously, for causing an output device (30) to perform productive functions, such as various types of movement of an object, in response to the subject's movement between various brainwave states and combinations of brainwave states. When more than one subject is involved, the apparatus can generate an output signal indicating when all the subjects are producing a predetermined brainwave pattern simultaneously, when they are producing a predetermining brainwave pattern synchronously; when they are producing a predetermined brainwave pattern coherently; or when, during a preceding predetermined interval of time, each of the subjects individually produced a predetermined brainwave pattern for more than a predetermined percentage of the interval of time.

Abstract: A method for analysing an electro-encephalogram (EEG) and apparatus for implementing the method are described. Preferably EEG's from the left and right sides of the head are analysed together. An EEG is analysed by detecting the bursts of activity having amplitudes which exceed a threshold voltage and each burst of activity in the EEG is determined to have ended when it is followed by a quiescent period below the threshold voltage having a duration of, say, at least 6 seconds. The total time of all quiescent periods occurring within an epoch, for example, 10 minutes is then calculated and displayed. The apparatus may include a digital computer for effecting statistical analysis of the total times for many consecutive epochs. The computer may also be used in generating the total times. A graphical output representing the total times may be produced enabling the progress of a patient to be assessed rapidly.

Also included is an apparatus and method for determining the exact location of the left ventricle of the heart and positioning and maintaining the main radiation detector (12) relative to the left ventricle, during an ambulatory study period. Information from detectors (10) and (12), as well as ECG electrodes is electronically processed and recorded on a portable cassette recorder, and may thereafter be presented to the memory of a stand alone computer (92), which calculates and displays R-R time intervals, electrocardiogram and time-activity curves, and other physiological data. From the computer calculations the average heart rate, number of aberrant beats, left ventricular ejection fraction, relative cardiac blood volume and other physiological values may be determined.

Abstract: This invention relates to a terminal electrode device for an electrocardiograph or an electroencephalograph, which can be used in a bath. The device comprises a disposable terminal electrode (A) and a connector (B) which can be attracted to the terminal electrode (A) by force of a permanent magnet. The terminal electrode (A) has a case (2) for accommodating an electrode (1a), an electrode base (1) and a sponge (5) associated with the electrode, a ring-like water-proof sheet (37) on the lower surface, and a sticking sheet (3) in the outer circumferential portion having air-permeability and water-permeability. The device is stuck to the human body by the sticking sheet (3) and the water-proof sheet (37) protects the electrode (1a) from water. The connector (B) has a connector body (13) containing a lead wire (11) that electrically couples to the electrode (1a) when attracted by the permanent magnet. Water-proof sealing members (7, 16) are provided in the contact portion between the connector member (13) and the case (2) of the terminal electrode (A), so that water will not infiltrate into the connector (B).
