A substantial number of NORD-2B computers were installed at CERN in Geneve, and also at various Norwegian sites. One of these was Norway's National Centre for Epilepsy (named "Statens Senter for Epilepsi" at the time). In a pioneering application the NORD-2B was used to process live electroencephalography (EEG) signals from patients to automatically detect and quantify certain types of epileptic seizures.
