| On the basis of recent papers [2] and [14] describing new methods of modeling and simulation that reverse engineer dynamics, a set of EEG's were examined and the figure below constructed by a process known as Dynamical Synthesis. Sample size 65000 @100/second. Lead O1-A1. |

| The method of Dynamical Synthesis has been described and documented in many articles. It demonstrates that complex dynamics that cannot be modeled on the basis of first principles may still be modeled by reverse engineering the dynamics as described in the references below. |
The method is as follows: We examine the EEG or EKG delay plot. From this, and our expertise in reversing engineering dynamics, we construct a simple mathematical model as described in the references below, esp [2]. We then seek to match the components of the model to the physiology that generates the EEG or EKG. We then measure these components separately in an effort to refine the parameters of the model. When the model converges we then use it to examine abnormal EEG's or EKG' s. Specifically, we are seeking to find variances in the physiological presentation of the abnormal cases from the model. These changes may then lead to understanding specific physiological processes and their evolution from normal to abnormal. The long term goal is to be able to predict seizures or sudden cardiac death well before they occur. The figure above demonstrates that the starting point from which to develop an EEG model is the Complex Wave Equation described in [2]. |
