    • Main Results:

    • The derived EEG equation explains phylogenetic differences in EEG frequency composition.
    • It accounts for spectral shifts to higher frequencies upon cortical excitation.
    • The model replicates EEG rhythm changes after deafferentation and spontaneous vs. evoked response spectra.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed differential equation provides a robust framework for understanding EEG.
    • It offers insights into neural mechanisms underlying normal and pathological brain activity.
    • The model presents a potential mechanism for the onset of epileptic activity.
