About DSA
An informational read-only screen with definition of DSA:
The Density Spectral Array (DSA) is a color representation of the power of the EEG between 0
and 30 Hz showing activity in the right and left areas of the brain using spectral edge frequency
as the indices. The DSA represents the last 20 minutes of R and L frontal-prefrontal EEG
activity tracked by the 95% Spectral Edge Frequency.

About ASYM
An informational read-only screen with definition of ASYM:
The asymmetry graph shows the degree of asymmetry in between the left and right
hemispheres of the brain over time. The asymmetry parameter (ASYM) to the right of the graph
indicates the percentage of EEG power present in the left or right hemisphere with respect to
total EEG power present.
