The EEG was monitored during an auditory vigilance task. The wanted signal consisted of three consecutive odd digits. Five other types of signal varied in their approximation to the wanted signal and were ranked on that criterion for their ‘arousal’ value. Each signal was followed by a rest period. The key results were: (i) alpha abundance (8·5–13·5 Hz) diminished as the arousal value of the signal increased ( P P P P P P P P P
