EEG power spectra during stroop color word task training in obese patients

摘要

This study aimed to evaluate the modifications of electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectra in overweight and obese patients. EEG was recorded while performing the Stroop Color Word Test. Stroop Color Word Test was performed and EEG activity was also monitored during the experiment. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used to show statistical difference between baseline and Stroop Color Word Test. Compared to baseline, patients showed an increase of theta, alpha, and gamma frequency bands. Our results show that overweight and obese patients had similar neurophysiological correlates of other forms of substance-related and addictive disorders suggesting similar psychopathological mechanisms.
