5.4 Additional parameters
These parameters are displayed on the right side of the recording screen.
5.4.1 EMG
EMG = electromyogram
The EMG index is a measure for the intensity of the electrical muscle activity. The index
is displayed on a scale from 0 (no muscle activity) to 100 (very high amount of muscle
activity).
5.4.2 BSR
BSR = burst suppression ratio
The burst suppression ratio quantifies the suppression percentage of a 60 s EEG
epoch. It is displayed on a scale from 0 (no suppression detected) to 100 (isoelectric
EEG).
5.4.3 STI
STI = sharp transient intensity
The STI detection shows in three stages the frequency and the intensity of sharply
contoured potentials within the last minute.
Artifacts may be involved in rare cases with the sharply contoured
potentials detected (e.g. cautery).
