[EEG spectral analysis of caffeine effects]

[Article in German]
H Künkel. Arzneimittelforschung. 1976.

Abstract

Spectral EEG analysis is shown to quantify the centrally stimulating effects of caffeine. Comparing the effects of coffee, decaffeinated coffee, caffeine solution and placebo results in two groups of substances: coffee and caffeine solution on one side, decaffeinated coffee and placebo on the other. The within-group differences are negligible, whereas the between-group differences are highly significant. It may be concluded that caffeine is the effective factor. This study gives no valid evidence confirming possible effects of other coffee ingredients.
