section 6.2.2). Thus, categorical approach to phenotypic characterization of the human EEG based on the identification of specific patterns of activity can be an alternative to the analysis of separate quantitative characteristics, however, there is a need for more accurate methods of objective classification of EEG patterns. Given the recent advances in quantitative methods of EEG analysis, source localization, and multivariate statistical techniques, this objective is quite tenable. A refinement of specific EEG phenotypes can lead to further progress in the identification of single genes affecting brain functioning.
