Abstract

To visualize electrical activities in the cerebral cortex, we develop the 3D topographic mapping system based on PC. For this work, we utilize OpenGL tool and an optimized interpolation method known as 3D barycentric algotithm, which has a little computational complexity. OpenGL processes the 3D coordinates, and 3D barycentric algotithm interpolates to get overall EEGs with EEGs measured from finite electrodes on 3D. To prove validity of this algorithm on the PC-based system, we developped Windows-based 3D topographic mapping program using the Barycentric algorithm. The result showed that the performance of this system is comparable to that of workstation in terms of speed and precision. Also, the result of clinical test was the same as that of a EEG technician's analysis.
