SR (Suppression Ratio)
Suppression Ratio (SR) is a measure of how much the electrical activity of the frontal and
pre-frontal cortex of the brain is suppressed as a percentage of time.
Numeric Value
SR is represented by a numeric value that ranges from 0 to 100%. When an SR numeric value
is not available, the value displays dashes (--). A brief explanation of SR is available by
pressing the Numeric Value and then the About icon in the menu that appears.
Trend
SR trend conveys the SR numeric values over a period of time. The vertical axis range is 100%
to 0 and it is configurable by the user. The horizontal axis represents time which is
configurable by the user.
