Effect of somnolence on electroencephalography

In healthy subjects, electroencephalography (EEG) shows distinct characteristics correlated to the level of somnolence experienced by a subject^[1]. To better measure these changes, and thus the level of somnolence, a common approach is to analyze the low frequency band (for example delta, alpha and theta waves) of the electroencephalographic signal. EEG frequency analysis is a standard approach that can provide insights into sleep and waking brain activity.^[2] While being in a drowsy state, the EEG shows higher slow frequency activity than compared to a rested waking condition. These changes may be used to track the somnolence state of a subject using only a handful of electrodes applied on the scalp and paired with an EEG recorder. For example, this very same technique has been used during long haul flights in aviation pilots^[3] to objectively measure their somnolence during the flight. Similar approaches are used also for car drivers somnolence detection.
