我们回顾了脊椎动物中枢神经系统最原始、最基本的功能，即全身性觉醒（GA）的概念。三个独立的证据表明GA的存在：统计，遗传和机械。在这里，我们要问，这个概念是否适合于定量分析？在肯定的情况下，四种定量方法已被证明是有用的：（i）因子分析，（ii）信息理论，（iii）确定性混沌，（iv）高斯方程的应用。它给我们的印象是，到目前为止，不只是一个，但至少有四个不同的定量方法似乎需要描述不同方面的科学工作GA。
We review a concept of the most primitive, fundamental function of the vertebrate CNS, generalized arousal (GA). Three independent lines of evidence indicate the existence of GA: statistical, genetic, and mechanistic. Here we ask, is this concept amenable to quantitative analysis? Answering in the affirmative, four quantitative approaches have proven useful: (i) factor analysis, (ii) information theory, (iii) deterministic chaos, and (iv) application of a Gaussian equation. It strikes us that, to date, not just one but at least four different quantitative approaches seem necessary for describing different aspects of scientific work on GA.
