EEG indices correlate with sustained attention performance in patients affected by diffuse axonal injury

Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2017

The aim of this study is to assess the ability of EEG-based indices in providing relevant information about cognitive engagement level during the execution of a clinical sustained attention (SA) test in healthy volunteers and DAI (diffused axonal injury)-affected patients. We computed three continuous power-based engagement indices (P/P, 1/P, and P/ (P+ P)) from EEG recordings in a control group (n = 7) and seven DAI-affected patients executing a 10-min Conners' "not-X" continuous performance test (CPT). A correlation analysis was performed in order to investigate the existence of relations between the EEG metrics and behavioral parameters in both the populations. P/Pand 1/Pindices were found to be correlated with reaction times in both groups while P/ (P+ P) and P/Palso correlated with the errors rate for DAI patients. In line with previous studies, time course fluctuations revealed a first strong decrease of attention after 2 min from the beginning of the test and a ...
