[Eeglablist] Huge alpha peaks in one person

[Simon Finnigan]

Hi Eric

I think it could well be due to inter-individual variability; I have seen
this kind of thing before in past studies. In fact in one longitudinal
study, I observed a "high alpha power" individual - and their EEG power
spectrum showed essentially the same [high alpha power] phenomenon at each
of three annual EEGs.

If you take a look at their raw EEG trace, this might help confirm that
what you're seeing is not due to pre-processing [?].

Regards, Simon
