Method for drawing up data which can be used to assess cognitive or sensomotor capabilities or capacities of people subjected to a test

In order to draw up data which can be used to assess the cognitive or sensomotor capabilities or capacities of people subjected to a test, measuring samples collected by measuring methods known per se (e.g. magnetoencephalography or electro-encephalography) and representing the cerebral activities of the test person, are recorded in a synchronized manner with a sequence of different test situations which the test person faces. Relevant changes in activity are traced and localized from the recorded measuring samples. Groups are then formed based upon the locality of the relevant activity changes, each of the groups containing activity changes of a pre-determined cerebral region. The groups are interrelated and data describing the relation between the groups of relevant activity changes is prepared for the assessment, for example visualized or acoustically presented with experimentally determined limiting values or comparison data.
