The Influence of Age on EEG Signals and Consciousness During Anesthesia

The BIS™ Complete Monitoring System is a user-configurable patient monitoring system designed to monitor the hypnotic state of the brain based on the acquisition and processing of EEG signals. The BIS technology converts raw EEG data acquired from the frontal cortex into a single number to measure the level of consciousness, called the BIS index. A bilateral sensor is to be placed on the patient's forehead to collect the EEG signals and transmit them back to the system.
