Brain is an organ that related to most of the process in human body system especially in control and sensory organ. Lobus frontalis is one important part of the brain that related to motoric activity. Nowadays medical technology to diagnose brain function and dysfunction are being applied. In this research we use Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT) to diagnose lobus frontal activity. <br /> <br /> <br /> In this research there are 4 important procedure: sensor design, simulation, experiment with phantom, and brain activity experiment. In the first step square-triangle <br /> <br /> <br /> electrode sensor and pentagon-hexagon electrode sensor is made. On simulation stage both design were compared based on the sensitivity value and image reconstructed by simulation, the image reconstructed using Iterative Linear Back Projection Algorithm (ILBP). On the next stage, the best design were build and tested using ball phantom. Brain activity is detected on final stage. The experiment is carried out in certain time interval, by giving certain task to the subject with purpose to activate the lobus frontalis motor area. In this research we successfully record the activity of lobus frontalis that located near <br /> <br /> <br /> electrode plate. From both apparent permitivity analysis and wavelet analysis we found the relation of the task given and brain electrical activity. The ECVT signal analysis are compared with EEG signal analysis. Study case with brain cancer is also done in this experiment. The structural image gained by ECVT shown a simmiliarity with MRI scan of the brain cancer.
