Event-related synchronization and desynchronization (ERD/S) represents a quantitative non-linear EEG signal analysis method, that

enables to evaluate the changes of the background activity in any frequency ranges. These changes are related to an external or internal

stimulus and are linked to the brain activation. It is widely used in the neuroscience research as a form of functional brain mapping.

Especially the intracerebral recording data analysis have a big importance.

Keywords: oscillations, synchronization, desynchronization, EEG.
