The Spectral Edge Frequency or SEF is a popular measure used in EEG-monitoring. It is usually expressed as "SEF x", which stands for the spontaneous EEG frequency below which x percent of the power are located. Typically x is in the range 75 to 95. SEF has variously been used to estimate the depth of anesthesia.
