Bispectral analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) has been used to monitor depth of anaesthesia. In the majority of publications this has involved the use of the so called BIS-Index TM (Aspect Medical Systems, Inc.). The exact relationship of this index to such bispectral parameters as the bispectrum and bicoherence has not yet been reported. If the EEG is considered as a linear random process, bicoherence is trivial, i.e. it is independent of the EEG frequency. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of EEG epochs with non-trivial bicoherence during isoflurane/N20 anaesthesia. We reanalyzed 25.5 hours of digitalised EEG signal from 9 patients undergoing gynaecological surgery. The test developed by Hinich for Gaussian distribution and linearity was then applied. The test was validated using various synthetic surrogate data: Gaussian random data, the z-component of the Lorenz attractor, the phase randomized EEG and the phase randomized z-component of the Lorenz attractor. The percentage of epochs (8.192 s, 1024 data points) with non-trivial bicoherence was: Lorenz data 95.4%, phase randomized Lorenz data 9.4%, synthetic Gaussian data 14.8%, original EEG 9.1%, phase randomized EEG 5.1%. The original EEG data were not found to contain a higher percentage of epochs with non-trivial bicoherence than the phase randomized data and the synthetic Gaussian data. We conclude that bispectral analysis does not substantially add to the information obtained with other methods of quantitative EEG analysis.
