Generalized EEG Suppression

Generalized EEG suppression is a measure of the total amount of electrical activity in the brain. It is often used to measure levels of arousal and responsiveness in a clinical setting, such as during medical exams or in the intensive care unit. It can be used to monitor neurological problems, including seizures and sleep disorders. Low levels of this measure indicate a decreased level of arousal or decreased responsiveness to stimulation. High levels of generalized EEG suppression may be a sign of abnormally high levels of brain activity.
