Current pharmaco-dynamic studies involve electro-encephalographic signal recording (EEG) of
subjects according to a crossover design wherein each period includes repeated measures of EEG (in
days/times). Spatio-temporal distributions of parameters (frequency bands of the signal) are of
interest for differences between placebo and verum doses. After a brief description of
shortcomings mainly in using parametric univariate or classical multi-variate analysis, this paper
aims to introduce some multiway multidimensional approaches to take into account the structure of
the data, a table with
entries. A generalisation of the Singular Value Decomposition to
multi-tables enables a quantification of each set of linear components describing a
spatio-temporal effect of the bands but also subject dispersion, which achieve data reduction and
description. The flexibility of the method, including preprocessing and metric choices are issued
for pharmaco-EEG analysis, introducing a generalisation of Correspondence Analysis for more than
two variables.
