Hi,

Thank you for answering my question.  Could this slowing in brain activity be caused from carbon monoxide poisoning?

Thanks

Hi,

Slowing of brain activity on EEG means the firing of neurons in the brain is slowing down. This may indicate a decline in cognitive functions and reduced connectivity in the brain.

Hope this answers your question.
