Abstract
Comparison of hippocampal EEG during habituation of a neutral stimulus (CS), habituation of a reinforcing stimulus (US), and classical conditioning showed significantly different spectra for these three treatments. It was also demonstrated that spectra of hippocampal EEG data sampled randomly were different from those sampled immediately following either the CS or US.
