Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most efficacious interventions for treatment-resistant depression. Despite its efficacy, ECT’s neural mechanism of action remains unknown. Although ECT has been associated with “slowing” in the electroencephalogram (EEG), how this change relates to clinical improvement is unresolved. Until now, increases in slow-frequency power have been assumed to indicate increases… Continue reading Clinical #EEG slowing induced by electroconvulsive therapy is better described by increased frontal aperiodic activity

The Importance of Cursive #Handwriting Over Typewriting for Learning in the Classroom: A High-Density #EEG Study of 12-Year-Old Children and Young Adults
To write by hand, to type, or to draw – which of these strategies is the most efficient for optimal learning in the classroom? As digital devices are increasingly replacing traditional writing by hand, it is crucial to examine the long-term implications of this practice. High-density electroencephalogram (HD EEG) was used in 12 young adults… Continue reading The Importance of Cursive #Handwriting Over Typewriting for Learning in the Classroom: A High-Density #EEG Study of 12-Year-Old Children and Young Adults
