Communication

Summary: In a representative group of released prisoners from Serbian concentration camps during the war in Croatia 1991/92, EEG and evoked brain potentials will be performed as follows: visual evoked potentials, VEP, cognitive evoked potentials, VEP P300, evoked brain stem potentials. Data obtained will be compared with events in the camp and data on the health of the released prisoners obtained by other methods, with the object of monitoring, health status, formation of a forensic medicine data base on crime, disclosing the type of crime, evaluation of functional and work ability of the released prisoners and also to contribute to better understanding of the functional nervous system of man.

Keywords: Evoked potentials, VEP, VEP P300, BAEP, violence, concentration camps, war in Croatia.

Research goals: The aim of this study is to monitor the health status of a representative group of released prisoners from Serbian concentration camps during the war in Croatia 1991/92, by carrying out repeated EEG examinations and brain evoked potentials and to contribute to treatment; formation of a forensic medicine data base on crime; evaluation of functional and work ability of the released prisoners, and better understanding of the functional nervous system of man.
