title: Developmental characteristics of topographic EEG in school-age children using an autoregressive model.
abstract: Developmental characteristics of the resting EEG were investigated in 47 school-age children using statistical analysis. Total and component EEG power were statistically analyzed between the subject groups from 7 to 14 year-old using our autoregressive pattern discrimination system. In early school-age children, significant topographic differences were seen in theta waves, while in late school-age children, the differences were found in alpha waves in the frontal and occipital regions, and in beta waves in the frontal region.
