Neurometric subtyping of depressive disorders

  • Chapter

Abstract

Many researchers have demonstrated electrophysiological abnormalities in patients with depression. EEG spectral features [1–6], amplitude, asymmetry, mean integrated amplitude [7–14], and coherence [15–19], as well as features of the evoked potential (EP) [10,20–23], have all been identified as important in describing depressive disorders. The vast differences between studies in both the methods of acquisition and analysis of data make it extremely difficult to summarize this large body of data.
