OBJECTIVE The present study was performed to investigate neonatal auditory perception function by quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and auditory event-related potentials (aERPs) and identify the characteristics of auditory perception development in newborns. METHODS Fifty-three normal full-term neonates were divided into three groups according their age in days. An auditory oddball p...

The computational electroencephalogram (EEG) is recently garnering significant attention in examining whether the quantitative EEG (qEEG) features can be used as new predictors for prediction of recovery moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, brain’s recorded electrical activity has always been contaminated with artifacts, which turn further impede subsequent processing steps. As a res...

One hundred children, ages 6–19, who were diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), either inattentive or combined types, participated in a study examining the effects of Ritalin, EEG biofeedback, and parenting style on the primary symptoms of ADHD. All of the patients participated in a 1-year, multimodal, outpatient program that included Ritalin, parent counseling, and ac...

Electrical activity of each brain region is homeostatically regulated, resulting in predictable frequency composition of the background EEG. Replicated normative databases have established that the EEG power spectrum is independent of ethnic background. Artifact-free EEG evaluated relative to such norms displays few deviant values in healthy, normally functioning individuals. In subjects with p...

Sleepiness is common after stroke, but in contrast to its importance for rehabilitation, existing studies focus primarily on the acute state and often use subjective sleepiness measures only. We used quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) to extract physiological sleepiness, as well as subjective reports, in response to motor-cognitive demand in stroke patients and controls. We hypothesised...

Auditory hallucinations (AH) are reported by 60–75% of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. They have been linked to a range cortical structural and functional changes. We systematically reviewed electroencephalogram (EEG) magnetoencephalography (MEG) resting-state studies adults schizophrenia experiencing auditory (verbal and/or nonverbal). After searching for relevant using the PubMed Web Sci...

OBJECTIVE To investigate quantitative EEG (qEEG) in anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) in comparison with healthy controls. METHODS Resting EEG was recorded in 30 healthy females (age: 27.1+/-5.5), 16-AN females (age: 26.4+/-9.5) and 12-BN females (age: 27.0+/-6.3). Cortical EEG sources (delta, theta, alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2) were modeled by LORETA solutions. The statisti...

Tinnitus, the perception of noise in the absence of an external auditory stimulus, is common, frequently distressing and often intractable. It is associated with a number of conditions including deafness but may arise spontaneously. Brain imaging studies indicate increased neuronal excitability and decreased density of benzodiazepine receptors in temporal (auditory) cortex but the source and me...

Background Currently positron emission tomography (PET) is used as the initial or sole biomarker of β-amyloid (Aβ) brain pathology, which may inhibit Alzheimer’s disease (AD) drug development and clinical use due to cost, access, tolerability. Machine learning (ML)-based EEG biomarkers address these challenges. Previous studies have confirmed their ability accurately discriminate between normal...
