Spectral and correlation parameters of bioelectrical activity in EEG alpha band of children with visual dysfunction at the second period of childhood

І. В. Редька

Keywords: EEG alpha band; spectral and autocorrelation analysis; visual dysfunctions

Abstract

We examined children normal sighted (n=45) and with visual dysfunctions (n=140) in age from 8 to 12 years. It has been found that the greatest changes of alpha activity are for congenital binocular dysfunctions. It manifests in significant generalized reduction of spectral power, moving the focus of maximum activity in the central and parietal regions, domination of unstable non-periodic alpha oscillations. At acquired binocular dysfunctions there have been revealed a significant decrease in alpha peak frequency range and moving the focus of maximum activity in the parietal and occipital regions. At congenital monocular dysfunctions trend has been shown to an increase of spectral power and peak frequency of alpha range mainly in the rostral cerebral cortex.
