(basic) alpha rhythm

Alpha-GR = Alpha-Grundrhythmus

EEG activity in the alpha range can otherwise represent ,,real" basic alpha rhythm in a patient that merely seems to be unconscious.

EEG-Aktivität im Alphafrequenzbereich kann andererseits als ,,echte" Alphawellengrundaktivität bei einem nur scheinbar komatösen Patienten gegeben sein und das Bild eines sogenannten Alphakomas vortäuschen.
