This paper extends frequency domain quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) methods pursuing higher sensitivity to detect Brain Developmental Disorders. Prior qEEG work lacked integration of cross-spectral information omitting important functional connectivity descriptors. Lack geographical diversity precluded accounting for site-specific variance, increasing nuisance variance. We ameliorate these weaknesses. (i) Create lifespan Riemannian multinational norms tensors.

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) has lifelong consequences on brain development and cognitive function. We studied the developmental trajectories of resting-state EEG source activity in 66 individuals with histories limited to first year life 83 matched classmate controls (CON) who are all participants 49 years longitudinal Barbados Nutrition Study (BNS). qEEGt z-spectra measured deviation from normative values rhythmic sources at 5–11 age 40 later 45–51 age. The PEM group showed...
The goal of this study is to identify the quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) signature early childhood malnutrition [protein-energy (PEM)]. To end, archival digital EEG recordings 108 participants in Barbados Nutrition Study (BNS) were recovered and cleaned artifacts (46 children who suffered an episode PEM limited first year life) 62 healthy controls). still ongoing BNS initially enrolled 1973, EEGs for both groups recorded 1977-1978 (at 5-11 years). Scalp source Z-spectra (to...
Few studies have investigated the impact of psychopathic traits on EEG teenagers with conduct disorder (CD). To date, there is no other research studying low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) technique using quantitative (QEEG) analysis in adolescents CD and traits.To find electrophysiological differences specifically related to traits. The current investigation compares QEEG source density measures between without traits.The resting activity LORETA for fast spectral bands...
Objective This study compares the complementary information from semi-quantitative EEG (sqEEG) and spectral quantitative (spectral-qEEG) to detect life-long effects of early childhood malnutrition on brain. Methods Resting-state EEGs ( N = 202) Barbados Nutrition Study (BNS) were used examine protein-energy (PEM) middle adulthood outcomes. sqEEG analysis was performed Grand Total (GTE) protocol, a single latent variable, Neurophysiological State (sqNPS) extracted. A univariate linear...
Background Sex influences is important to understand behavioral manifestations in a large number of neuropsychiatric disorders. We found electrophysiological differences specifically related the influence sex on psychopathic traits. Methods The resting electroencephalography (EEG) activity and low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) for EEG spectral bands were evaluated 38 teenagers with conduct disorder (CD). 25 male 13 female subjects had traits as diagnosed using...
Mediation analysis assesses whether an exposure directly produces changes in cognitive behavior or is influenced by intermediate "mediators". Electroencephalographic (EEG) spectral measurements have been previously used as effective mediators representing diverse aspects of brain function. However, it has necessary to collapse EEG measures onto a single scalar using standard mediation methods. In this article, we overcome limitation and examine frequency-resolved functional connectivity...
Abstract Background The EEG constitutes a powerful neuroimaging technique for assessing functional brain impairment in COVID-19 patients. Objective current investigation compared the among survivors, close contacts and Cuban normative database, using semi-quantitative visual inspection, quantitative source density measures analysis. Methods resting-state activity, QEEG, VARETA inverse solution, were evaluated 173 subjects: 87 patients confirmed cases by positive reverse transcription...
The main goals of the present study were to replicate and extend current knowledge related paralimbic dysfunctions associated with psychopathy. research evaluated quantitative electroencephalography, density (CD) source synchronization likelihood analysis during rest condition structural magnetic resonance imaging images compare volumetric cortical thickness, in inmates recruited from two prisons located Havana City. Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) was used as a measure This showed...
Introduction. Functional brain differences related to sex in psychopathic behavior represent an important field of neuroscience research; there are few studies on this area, mainly offender samples. Objective. The aim study was investigate the presence electrophysiological between male and female psychopath offenders; specifically, we wanted assess whether results quantitative EEG, low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA), changes synchronous activity could be influence. Sample...

OBJECTIVE: To find electrophysiological differences specifically related to the psychopathy construct between men and women offenders. The current investigation compares quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) source imaging of psychopath offenders a group. BACKGROUND: Psychopathy is clinical condition composed emotional deficits, social dysfunction, deviant lifestyle, antisocial behavior. This complex personality disorder that differs in...
