Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatment options for patients with major depression. The mechanisms of action are not fully understood. To further investigate the neurobiological mechanisms of ECT, techniques are needed to noninvasively measure brain function before and following ECT sessions and during the course of ECT series. Electroencephalography (EEG) offers the opportunity to noninvasively investigate changes of brain electric activity before and after ECT. Methods: We investigated EEG data of 20 patients with severe depression (ICD 10 diagnoses F31.x, F32.x, F33.…
