Background. Little research has addressed cognitive rehabilitation and changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG) following training of traumatic brain injured (TBI) patients suffering from attention deficits because of their injury. This study focuses on changes in relative and absolute power in frontal, central and posterior regions of the TBI patients' brain following training on attention skills using a software program called Captain's Log.Methods. The five participants-aged 20 to 45 years-received 22 sessions of training on their attention skills. Their attention skills were assessed at the beginning and end of the research study through a variety of psychometrics as well as through scaled self-reports. Their EEG was also recorded before and after training, during eyes-open resting baseline, eyes-closed resting baseline, eight cognitive tasks and a post-tasks eyes-open resting condition. Only the first two baselines were analyzed in the present study. (The rest of the conditions will be analyzed in another study.) The hypotheses that the participants' delta, theta, and alpha relative and absolute power would decrease and that their beta power would increase following training were analyzed.Results. Although there were significant post-task changes in four out of the five case studies in relative and absolute power, both in eyes-closed Please note that this electronic prepublication galley may contain typographical errors and may be missing artwork, such as charts, photographs, etc. Pagination in this version will differ from the published version.Stamatina Stathopoulou received Masters and PhD degrees in Experimental Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, where she worked under the supervision of Joel F.

“…Early studies reported higher rates of EEG abnormality in subjects with post‐concussion syndrome (PCS); 13 however, these studies were often qualitative, had no modern radiologic information, lacked detailed analysis of paroxysmal activity (epileptic spike activity not associated with a major seizure), and included individuals outside the current definition of MTBI 14–16 . Other early studies did not demonstrate a higher incidence of abnormalities in the EEGs of MTBI patients than in the general population 17 .…”

“…23 There are also reports with either true epileptic seizures or partial seizurelike symptoms following minor closed head injury as well as epileptiform discharges in single cases. [24][25][26][27] In most studies, posttraumatic seizures developed within hours or days after the trauma, 26 and higher incidence of epilepsies were demonstrated mostly in moderate or severe head trauma. 28 However, in a population-based study, the incidence ratios for seizures even after mild head trauma was higher than expected with a standardized incidence ratio of 3.1 in children <1 year and 2.1 in children 1 to 4 years.…”

Prevalence of Epileptiform Discharges in Healthy Infants

Most studies on epileptiform discharges in young children were performed using analog electroencephalographic (EEG) recording systems and a limited numbers of electrodes that might have a lower detection rate for epileptiform discharges than modern digital recording systems. Knowing the prevalence of epileptiform discharges in healthy children is critical for a valid interpretation of findings in patients with a suspected epileptic disorder. We reviewed EEG recordings of 393 otherwise healthy children aged 12 to 60 months using digital EEG recording with respect to epileptiform discharges. We found epileptiform discharges in 3 children aged 12, 34 and 55 months resulting in a prevalence of epileptiform discharges in our cohort of 0.76% (95% confidence interval 0.0% to 1.62%). The prevalence of epileptiform discharges in children younger than 5 years is by far lower than in older children, and the digital findings are in accordance with previous data of conventional EEG.
