Dynamics and structure of EEG-patterning are highly sensitive indicators of psychotropic drug effects on the regulation of vigilance. Methodological requirements for an adequate evaluation of these effects and appropriate procedures for their measurement are discussed. The kind of information to be obtained by using these strategies is illustrated by the results of comparative investigations concerning the action of Viloxazine, a new antidepressant drug, on the resting activity and on the waking EEG during performance of various tracking tasks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
