A mole of the EEG with waxing, waning and blocking alpha rhythm is described. One parameter is time dependent and simulates the "physiological alpha state' of the EEG generating network. A theoretically optimal detector of this state appears to be prescribed by the model and the statistics of the alpha state parameter. It minimizes the expected false decision rate.
