rat EEG

OK, I know I shouldn't have done things the way I did.

In fact, my B.Sc. thesis promoter is focused on 2-D electrophoresis. So I 
did gels with samples I received from elsewhere. Then Carlyle Smith (Trent 
University) came and show us how to record EEG from rats (but he didn't 
stay for a long time). So I trained and recorded my own rats.

Now I have rats EEG and 2-D gels with proteins. I can analyse my gels with 
help from my promoter. Since Carlyle Smith went back to Canada, I am left 
alone to analyse my EEG. I can ask physician how they do in humans. But I 
wonder if it's different or not in rats.

Since I plan to do a Ph.D. on the same subject, I would like to learn more 
about rat EEG. That's why I'm asking for help and papers references.
