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.
