Medical signal monitoring and display

A method for displaying physiological signals of a subject, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a plurality of electrical physiological signals from a plurality of electrodes attached to a subject;
• (b) selecting a panel in which a physiological signal is to be displayed from a plurality of panel types, wherein a different format for displaying a physiological signal is assigned to each panel type;
• (c) defining a signal to be displayed by selecting a pair of electrical physiological signals from the plurality of electrical physiological signals and deriving a montaged pair signal to be displayed from the pair of electrical physiological signals selected;
• (d) selecting a modality of the physiological signal to be displayed;
• and
• (e) displaying the montaged pair physiological signal in the panel in the format assigned and the modality selected.

A method for controlling stimulation applied to a subject and displaying physiological signals of the subject in response thereto, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a plurality of physiological signals from a subject;
• (b) selecting a panel in which a physiological signal is to be displayed;
• (c) selecting at least one signal derived from the plurality of signals to be displayed in the panel;
• (d) defining a stimulation context defining the stimulation to be applied to the subject;
• (e) assigning the stimulation context to the selected panel;
• and
• (f) controlling the providing of stimulation to the subject in the manner defined by the stimulation context and displaying the physiological signal in the panel when the panel is activated.

A medical monitoring system for controlling the providing of stimulation to a subject and for displaying physiological signals of the subject in response thereto, comprising:

• (a) a computer implemented system for controlling a stimulation system for providing stimulation signals to the subject, for receiving a plurality of physiological signals from the subject, and for displaying the physiological signals received from the subject;
• (b) means for selecting panels in which the physiological signals from the subject will be displayed and for selecting at least one signal derived from the plurality of physiological signals to be displayed in each panel;
• (c) means for assigning a stimulation context defining the stimulation to be applied to the subject to each panel;
• and
• (d) means for controlling the stimulation system to provide stimulation to the subject in the manner defined by a stimulation context in response activation of a panel having the stimulation context assigned thereto.

A method for displaying physiological signals of a subject, comprising the steps of:

• (a) receiving a plurality of raw wide band physiological signals from a plurality of portions of a subject's body;
• (b) selecting at least one first pair of the plurality of raw wide band physiological signals;
• (c) selecting a first modality of interest;
• (d) combining and filtering the first pair of raw wide band physiological signals for the modality of interest to define a first physiological signal to be displayed;
• and
• (e) displaying the first physiological signal to be displayed.

A medical monitoring system for displaying physiological signals of a subject, comprising:

• (a) means for receiving a plurality of raw wide band physiological signals from a plurality of portions of a subject's body;
• (b) a user interface for selecting pairs of the plurality of raw wide band physiological signals, wherein any one of the raw wide band physiological signals may be included in more than one pair, and for selecting a modality for each selected pair of raw wide band physiological signals;
• (c) means for combining and filtering the signals in each selected pair of raw wide band physiological signals for the corresponding modality to define physiological signals to be displayed;
• and
• (d) means for displaying the physiological signals to be displayed.
