Abstract: We undertake the study of human EEG-signals by recourse to a wavelet based multiresolution analysis as adapted to an Information-Measure-Scenario. Different information measures are employed. It is shown that non-extensive ones seem to be of particular usefulness. Their use opens up perspectives of building up automatic detection devices. Conjectures concerning general characteristics of focal epilepsy are formulated on the basis of a Tsallis-type of analysis.
