This study introduces a new quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) method using functional principal component analysis (fPCA) on current source density (CSD) amplitude spectra. This approach offers simpler, reference-independent measures for analyzing brain activity.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG)
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Conventional quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis faces challenges in interpretability due to frequency band definitions, reference choices, and spectral analysis methods.
  • Non-linear power spectra can distort topographical maps and hemispheric asymmetry measures in EEG.
  • Functional principal component analysis (fPCA) offers a data-driven approach to EEG analysis, conforming to spectral structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the conciseness and interpretability of EEG and CSD fPCA solutions using three common scaling methods.
  • To develop a novel qEEG approach for analyzing spectral components that parallels temporal domain ERP components.

Main Methods:

  • Resting EEG and CSD data from 51 healthy and 93 clinically-depressed adults were analyzed.

  • Data were simplified using power, log power, and amplitude spectra.
  • Covariance-based fPCA with Varimax rotation was applied to summarize spectral data.

    • Main Results:

    • fPCA successfully separated multiple alpha factors from artifacts, showing reproducibility.
    • Amplitude spectra derived from CSD demonstrated optimal tuning, yielding distinct topographies.
    • The CSD amplitude spectrum fPCA approach identified posterior alpha generators and a frontal midline alpha/theta factor.

    Conclusions:

    • CSD amplitude spectrum fPCA provides simpler, reference-independent qEEG measures that better reflect neuronal activity.
    • This novel qEEG method generates spectral components analogous to event-related potential (ERP) components.
