Short-term effects of temazepam in the EEGs of healthy volunteers.

In this study effects of temazepam on the EEGs of 10 healthy volunteers were detected using a standardized EEG registration procedure applied in a controlled environment. The EEGs were recorded both before and after administration of 20 mg temazepam as well as before and after placebo. A mean power spectrum was computed for each EEG from the 'eyes closed' condition, and the Student t test was used to detect differences in the spectra of the pre- and posttreatment EEGs in both placebo and drug conditions. For all 10 subjects the drug condition was easily distinguishable from the placebo condition based on the results of the t test.
