Researchers Map Oscillatory Changes Under Anesthesia
Two studies published this year in Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience and Cell Reports Medicine analyzed fMRI and EEG data from adults sedated with propofol across four consciousness levels—wakefulness, light sedation, deep sedation, and recovery. They found that large-scale low‑frequency oscillations collapse while local high‑frequency activity rises, auditory inputs fail to reach higher‑order cortex, and a machine‑learning model classified consciousness levels with 72% accuracy, enabling potential monitoring tools.
