Multivariate analyses of the EEG in normal adolescents.

We investigated the computerized electroencephalography (cEEG) in a group of 85 normal adolescents. The spatial frequency of the cEEG was analyzed using various multivariate statistical techniques. The factor analyses revealed three factors that accounted for most of the variability in the data and that could be interpreted as a low versus high frequency, a beta frequency, and a frontal versus posterior factor. The cluster analysis revealed various EEG patterns that distinguished among subgroups of normal individuals.
