EEG Patterns of TBI Patients with Attention Deficits During Cognitive Tasks and Second Resting Baseline

摘要: According to previous research, different regions of the brain are activated when a person is required use types attention like selective, alternating, focused, sustained and divided attention. The frontal, prefrontal parietal areas especially in right hemisphere, seem be most frequently areas. Little research has addressed differences electroencephalogram (EEG) between traumatic injured (TBI) patients, with attentional deficits because their injury, normal population. This study focuses on magnitude five TBI patients population, during recording one cognitive task (ADT task) after tasks eyes-open baseline (EO2). All matched controls’ psychometrics, eyes-closed EEG representative an average without neurological deficits. Four frequencies examined. skills experimental for age gender control individuals assessed through variety psychometrics as well scaled self-reports. Their recorded eyesopen, eyes-closed, six (taken from software program Captain’s Log), second baseline. out statistically examined Only analyzed, auditory task, discriminating melody. It hypothesized that topography, direction significant changes (ADT) minus first resting (EO1) will clinical individuals. same hypothesis, there cases, holds also comparison. A third hypothesis that, consistent patterns, depending type deficit. hypotheses supported. Low alpha low beta frontal posterior constitute respectively, which show patterns each results this serve diagnostic tool possible deficit not easily shown or but (second baseline) recording.
