Generation and validation of a PREP sample response

PREP are typical signal courses in the EEG, which are used to investigate the influence of neuropathologies or, for example, post-traumatic headaches on pain processing. The medically meaningful peaks are detected manually for further analysis. To develop a more time-efficient method, an automatic, latency-independent way of detection was created using the cross-correlation function, which generates a sample response for each data set. The comparison of automatic and manual methods shows advantages and disadvantages of both methods, but no significant deviation of the automatic method can be found
