How do the resting EEG preprocessing states affect the outcomes of postprocessing? by Shiang Hu, Jie Ruan, Pedro Antonio Valdes-Sosa, Zhao Lv

“…Lastly, the association between PaLOSi and varying trends of postprocessing outcomes was analyzed with evolutionary preprocessing states. We found that compared with CE: 1) IPE (EPE) temporal statistics deviated more greatly with more noise injected (brain activities discarded); 2) IPE (EPE) power was higher (lower), and IPE power was almost parallel to that of CE across frequencies, while EPE power deviation decreased with higher frequencies; IPE cross spectra deviated more greatly than EPE, except for β band; 3) derived from 7 coupling measures, IPE (EPE) network had lower (higher) transmission efficiency and worse (better) integration ability; 4) IPE sources distributed more dispersedly with greater strength while EPE sources activated more focally with lower amplitudes; 5) PaLOSi was consistently correlated with varying trends of investigated postprocessing for both simulated and real data. …”
