The number of SP types for different conditions. Data averaged across all EEGs per condition and presented as mean ± standard deviation and sorted from smaller values towards larger. Types of individual EEG short-term SPs were determined with the help of a probability- classification analysis [5, 82]. In order to reveal any statistically significant differences between certain conditions, the Wilcoxon test was applied. Statistical significance was assumed where P<0.05.

‘CE’ = closed eyes; ‘OE’ = open eyes; ‘Epilepsy’ = medication-free interictal EEG without epileptiform abnormalities during generalized epilepsy in resting conditions; Dark bar represents functional reference baseline - spontaneous EEG during resting state with closed eyes which is distinct from both sleep and any type of task involving explicit perception, memory or other cognitive activity and provides a priori hypotheses about the way in which the brain will respond across a wide variety of task conditions and brain states.
