| Popis: | Objective To assess the frequency spectrum of the normal waking human eyes-closed EEG while concentrating on a mental task. Methods Ten adult normal volunteers listened to a CD encouraging mindfulness for one hour and five minutes while their EEG was recorded on a 128 channel DC based ANT system. The software package BESA Research version 6.1 was used for data analysis. The data were subjected to topographic display, frequency as well as independent component analysis. Results Near-DC activity that extended beyond one hour, as well as rhythmic wave durations ranging from about 10 to 35 min, was observed in all subjects. For this task the major topographic distribution was mainly in frontal near midline areas and the inferior portions of the hemispheres. Conclusions The study demonstrated that rhythms below the infraslow band, as well as a near-DC component, exist in the normal human EEG. Their significance for health and disease now needs to be explored. Significance Since DC-based EEG/MEG systems are already in use by some laboratories, investigators are encouraged to include the exploration of these ultra-slow waves in the review of their data. |
