activity is synchronized, and characterised by slow waves with a frequency range of 0.5-4.5 Hz and a relatively high amplitude power with peak-to-peak amplitude greater than 75 uV. The first section of the wave signifies a "down state", an inhibition or hyperpolarizing phase in which the neurons in the neocortex are silent. This is the period when the neocortical neurons can rest. The second section of the wave signifies an "up state", an excitation
