Xenon and nitrous oxide induced changes in resting EEG activity can be explained by systematic increases in the relaxation rates of stochastically driven alpha band oscillatory activity.

Objective. Resting electroencephalographic activity is typically indistinguishable from a filtered linear random process across a diverse range of behavioural and pharmacological states, suggesting that the power spectral density of the resting electroencephalogram (EEG) can be modelled as the superposition of multiple, stochastically driven and independent, alpha band (8-13 Hz) relaxation...
