We studied the electric brain activity during wakefulness in 20 Brazilian people through digital EEG and spectral analysis in order to propose a standardization for Brazilian adult population. All this group is healthy with laboratory examinations and mini-mental state (scores higher than 27) evaluation normal. After Fourier fast transformation (FFT) calculation, we found a histogram display with monomodal distribution, with higher values in alpha band. Analyzing the average of these results, different standards from the analogical traditional EEG were found, as the distribution of alpha band and delta activity behavior. The beta 2 and beta 3 behavior showed a diffuse distribution, that is not the usual. By the other hand, other findings are congruent to the analogical EEG as the alpha posterior predominance and the bigger presence of theta activity at the central regions.
