Electroencephalogram coherence analysis reveals brain connectivity but requires careful interpretation. While useful for differentiating patient groups, its specificity in various conditions and diagnostic value for individuals remain limited.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Coherence analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) measures functional cortico-cortical connections.
  • It is applied in studying brain development and diseases affecting brain connectivity, including dementia and schizophrenia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of EEG coherence analysis in neurophysiologic investigations.
  • To discuss the interpretation of coherence changes and technical considerations in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Coherence analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) data.
  • Review of existing literature on EEG coherence in normal and pathological conditions.

Main Results:

  • Coherence decrease in high-frequency bands suggests reduced functional connectivity.

  • Coherence analysis can differentiate patient groups from normal populations.
  • Interpretation of coherence increases requires further research.

    • Conclusions:

    • Technical factors like recording conditions and reference choice significantly impact EEG coherence results.
    • The specificity of coherence changes in various pathologies and its diagnostic value for individual patients are currently questionable.
