For the purposes of the present analyses,
EEG power in the alpha band at 8 y was created by computing an unweighted average of alpha power across hemisphere and brain region.
First, we examined the relationships of plausible covariates, including gender, birth - weight, post-conceptual age on the visit day (gestational age + days of life since birth to the visit day), ethnicity, prenatal smoking exposure, and child sleep condition at the time of EEG recording with outcome measures (frontal
EEG power, functional connectivity at 6 and 18 months of age, or behavioral scores at 24 months of age).
When considering social skills, the positive effects of a strong attachment relationship during early childhood are seen in those children whose
EEG power is more mature and age appropriate.
Thus, given previous relations to developmental outcomes as well as the intervention and timing effects that have been reported,
EEG power in the alpha band at age 8 was examined in the current study.
To examine our first aim, separate regression models were used to evaluate each frontal EEG measure (dependent variable; frontal
EEG power: FL, FR, and FA; functional connectivity: FL, FR, and FA), and each behavioral score (dependent variable; internalizing and externalizing score) in relation with pre - or post-natal maternal EPDS score (independent variable).
DHEAadministration increases rapid eye movement sleep and
EEG power in the sigmafrequency range.
We assessed the degree of similarity of
EEG power - BOLD broad - spectrum between rest and movie across nine cortical language regions.

It seems a complicated way of assessing sex, using
EEG and strong computing
power.
In recent years scientists have dramatically improved the
power of
EEG by writing computer programs that compare recordings from multiple locations around the head and then calculate which regions of the brain are producing the signals.
The simultaneous
EEG and fMRI recordings allowed us to explore how theta
power fluctuations driven by the movie correlate with local synaptic activity in auditory cortex, as indexed by the BOLD signal (Magri et al., 2012; see Materials and Methods).
If we should have luck here in Germany, and the
EEG does not fail, it would mean that in 20 years we'd have a grid mostly
powered by renewable energy, paid by the private households alone, that will produce cheap electricity for the industry at a time when oil, gas and coal will be much more expansive than today.
Renewables also lower the price of
power during the middle of the day by significant amounts — but increase household bills via the
EEG surcharge, the group said.
But against the backdrop of the decade - long nuclear contests, the FIT system (as established by the
EEG in 1991) that obligated supply companies to purchase wind, solar, and biomass
power and then pass costs to consumers was fueling tremendous growth of renewables.
The
EEG required utility companies to plug all renewable
power producers, down to the smallest rooftop solar panel, into the national grid and buy their
power at a fixed, slightly above - market rate that guaranteed a modest return over the long term.
But whenever the wholesale price is lower than the feed - in tariff (which it is most of the time), the difference is made up from the renewable energy surcharge (
EEG surcharge), a levy that almost all consumers pay with their
power bills.
Under the Renewable Energy Act, which has been imitated around the world, any renewable
power investor — be it a household installing a solar array on the roof, a cooperative erecting a windmill, a farmer running a biogas installation, or an institutional investor operating an offshore wind park — could sell their green electricity at a guaranteed price above wholesale market price, fixed in advance for 20 years (for more details, see the factsheet Defining features of the Renewable Energy Act (
EEG)-RRB-.
Whilst there had been discussions on how much feed - in tariffs should decrease for the different technologies and about different ways to integrate renewables into the national grid and
power market before, the first time that the existence of the
EEG and its principles were seriously contested was in 2012/2013.
More recently, people have started harnessing
EEG as a way to
power devices or «read minds» (spoiler: they can't actually read your mind).
Consumer
EEG tends to pick up a lot of false positives, like signals from muscles, or even the electricity that
powers the device itself.
What has not been examined is how such variation in
EEG activity (e.g., alpha
power) among children who have experienced severe social deprivation early in life is associated with the development of social skills and the effects of early attachment experiences on those social skills.
Regression analyses examining attachment security and
EEG alpha
power in relation to social skills were conducted using the FCG and CAUG combined.
Overall, the present study had three main goals: (i) to compare the social skills of children randomized to foster care intervention and children randomized to continued institutional care with those of children from the community; (ii) to determine whether the timing of the foster care intervention influenced social skills; and (iii) to examine the influence of early attachment experiences and the moderating influence of
EEG alpha
power at 8 y on social skills in middle childhood for children who had experienced any early institutionalization (the FCG and the CAUG).
Thus, just as the early experience of being institutionalized influenced ADHD symptomatology through effects on
EEG alpha
power at baseline (9), the experience of forming a more secure attachment relationship combined with a recovery of
EEG alpha
power by age 8 influenced social skill development in the current analysis.
Finally, 10 - minute
EEG data from the auditory oddball task for each subject were extracted for spectral
power and brain functional network analyses below.
We found that children's
EEG alpha
power emerged as a significant moderator of the relation between attachment security and social skills in the school setting.
We provide data that show the role of
EEG alpha
power on the relations between attachment security and subsequent social skills.
Compared to the frontal FC measure, the frontal
EEG activity measure had less statistical
power in predicting children's behaviors at 24 months of age in our study.
