Quantitative computerized analysis of the EEG data (qEEG) is based on statistical analysis as a mean to compare one’s EEG features with normative EEG database. It is helpful additional diagnostic tool with significant clinical utility in many mental illnesses, especially in establishing EEG differences between ADHD and non-ADHD children. In our study we back-up this notion by confirming existence of five qEEG subtypes in ADHD children that were recently introduced by members of our team. Namely, we present 20 Macedonian children with ADHD, mean age 10.5±2.35 years, both genders. For each child qEEG data (in eyes open and closed conditions) were recorded, together with the continuous performance tests (CPT). Analysis showed that 45 % of the children belong to the fifth subtype (slow alpha excess), 30% to the first subtype (increased theta amplitude in the frontocentral cortex) and 25 % to the fourth subtype (over activated beta in frontal, central or parietal cortex).

Abstract
Quantitative computerized analysis of the EEG data (qEEG) is based on statistical analysis as a mean to compare one’s EEG features with normative EEG database. It is helpful additional diagnostic tool with significant clinical utility in many mental illnesses, especially in establishing EEG differences between ADHD and non-ADHD children. In our study we back-up this notion by confirming existence of five qEEG subtypes in ADHD children that were recently introduced by members of our team. Namely, we present 20 Macedonian children with ADHD, mean age 10.5±2.35 years, both genders. For each child qEEG data (in eyes open and closed conditions) were recorded, together with the continuous performance tests (CPT). Analysis showed that 45 % of the children belong to the fifth subtype (slow alpha excess), 30% to the first subtype (increased theta amplitude in the frontocentral cortex) and 25 % to the fourth subtype (over activated beta in frontal, central or parietal cortex).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
