EEG Connectivity in Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder: Tackling the Conductivity Effects

Abstrakt

Brain connectivity, extracted from EEG is considered for quantitative characterization of changes in brain function due to a mental disease and its treatment. Weighted imaginary coherence is chosen as a connectivity measure reflecting true brain interactions without distortions due to scalp conductivity and a common reference electrode. This measure is used in analyses of EEG data from patients suffering from major depressive disorder and its potential in prediction of efficacy of antidepressant treatment is demonstrated.
