There is an enormous gap between the use of EEG/EP in research laboratories and in clinical routine. While research laboratories record the signals from a large array of electrodes in order to characterize the spatial configuration of the potentials on the scalp, and to estimate the underlying electric sources in the brain, clinical applications usually still recorded from very few scalp electrodes only and analyse the traces visually in terms of graphoelements.

Our aim is to close this gap and introduce EEG and EP imaging methods in clinical diagnostic. It is our belief that the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of clinical neurophysiological methods can be enormously increased by these new tools.

Our applications focused for several years on epilepsy. Recently, we have started a project on high resolution somatosensory and visual evoked potentials for the evaluation of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
