Electroencephalogram dynamics during unconsciousness mediated by GABAergic-anesthetics

This dataset of electroencephalogram (EEG) activity was collected from
subjects undergoing general anesthesia using GABAergic agents. The typical EEG
of subjects during unconsciousness mediated by GABAergic anesthetics shows
slow-delta oscillations (0.3 - 4Hz) and alpha oscillations (8 - 14Hz). At
higher doses, these oscillations devolve into burst suppression, a state of
profound brain inactivation. This data was used to investigate the transition
between these states of unconsciousness. It was collected as part of a larger
study to investigate the changes in brain activity during unconsciousness
mediated by GABAergic anesthetics. All data collection and experimental
protocols were approved by the Mass General Brigham Human Research Committee.
