Table 3

Mean values and standard error of mean (SEM) of the principal components (PC), summarizing spectrum of smooth density distribution of psychotic and bipolar depressed patients (PD and BD, resp.). Unipolar depressed (UD) patients cannot be differed from either psychotic or bipolar depressed patients. Fp2 denotes the left fronto-orbital EEG electrode.
