title: Procedure for identification of different stages of EEG background activity and its application to the detection of drug effects.
abstract: A procedure for the detection of a change in EEG background activity is introduced. Here the time path of the relative power in the alpha band is modelled by fitting two lines, each corresponding to a different level of background activity. The jumping point between these two lines is estimated and serves as an indicator of drug effects.
