First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study used wireless EEG headsets to watch brain activity in 45 healthy adults as they were put under anesthesia with propofol. Researchers focused on slow-wave brain signals to understand how and when people lose consciousness. The goal is to learn more about the brain's response to anesthesia, which could lead to better monitoring tools in the future.
