Spectral edge frequency

Spectral edge frequency

The spectral edge frequency or SEF is a measure used in signal processing. It is usually expressed as "SEF "x", which stands for the frequency below which "x" percent of the total power of a given signal are located. (typically "x" is in the range 75 to 95.)

It is more particularly a popular measure used in EEG monitoring, in which case SEF has variously been used to estimate the depth of anesthesia.
