Dear Tinymommy,
one observation. and again please take with a grain - no, a lump - of salt, because i'm not a doctor either. but i do have migraines and i've read a bit on them... amongst the newer theories of migraine cause, is the
depolarization theory - where basically the charge in brain cells is reduced. but i have no idea if a brain with depressed activity would register slower waves on EEG. it might? (says the neophyte).

Depolarization theory
A phenomenon known as cortical spreading depression can cause migraines.[40] In cortical spreading depression, neurological activity is depressed over an area of the cortex of the brain. This situation results in the release of inflammatory mediators leading to irritation of cranial nerve roots, most particularly the trigeminal nerve, which conveys the sensory information for the face and much of the head.
