Microstate in rats' EEG: a proof of concept study.

ABSTRACT: The electroencephalogram (EEG) reflecting brain activity may be characterised through brief periods of stable neural activity patterns that recur over time and are referred to as microstates. Microstates are related to a range of cognitive processes, and their analysis has become an increasingly popular tool for studying human brain function. While microstates have been extensively studied in humans, their presence and characteristics in animal models have yet to be as thoroughly investigated. This study aims to address this gap by detecting and characterising microstates in EEGs of rats collected using a superficial electrode system corresponding to homological areas of the human 10-20 system. Specifically, we demonstrate the presence of microstates in rats' EEGs, i.e., those that may be
