Abstract
Background: Psychotropic medications remain foundational in psychiatric care, yet the neurophysiological mechanisms through which they exert therapeutic and adverse effects are still poorly characterised, limiting the field's ability to optimise treatment selection and monitoring. Electroencephalography (EEG) offers a non-invasive, real-time window into brain function that could support more precise, mechanism-informed prescribing; however, progress has been constrained by the absence of sufficiently large and systematically analysed pharmaco-EEG datasets.
Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, we analysed over 24,000 clinical EEG recordings (∼6000 h of data) obtained across a wide range of psychiatric diagnoses and medication regimens. We compared more than 75,000 spectral, connectivity, and nonlinear EEG features across major drug classes, including benzodiazepines, SSRIs, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants.
Findings: Dimensionality-reduced analyses revealed robust, class-specific neurophysiological signatures that can be linked to psychotropic drugs' mechanisms of action: benzodiazepines increased beta and decreased theta–alpha power; SSRIs enhanced gamma-band coherence; and antipsychotics and anticonvulsants produced marked slow-wave amplification and reductions in signal complexity. All results are made publicly accessible through an interactive resource (BrainwavesRX), enabling clinicians and researchers to explore medication-specific EEG effects at multiple levels of granularity.
Interpretation: By establishing a population-level reference atlas of psychotropic medication effects on human neural dynamics, this study provides an important foundation for future studies leveraging EEG to predict treatment response, detect insufficient or excessive pharmacological effects, and ultimately advance the development of individualised, data-driven psychiatric care.

Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 6 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 8 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
Data
