Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi Pete and all, I’m sure this has been asked and answered but I couldn’t find it in the archives, so I apologize for the possible redundancy…I saw a young client today with “adequate” levels of alpha, however coherence was the lowest I have ever seen (i.e. in the parietals it was 13%). I’m wondering how low coherence would present symptomatically? Anxiety? ADHDish? Reading/math disabilities? Other? Thanks for the information.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 , Could be any or all of the above, depending on where they are. Neurons that can't shift into the coherent relationship in alpha are likely never really letting go of beta, trying to burst back into it at intervals when there is no task, and thus not able to simply link up to the sub-cortical generators that produce the alpha rhythms. That would certainly lead to them being " tired " or anxious, both of which could have an effect on attention and processing.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi Pete, Thanks for the help. This kiddo I saw (age 10) has all these issues as well as pretty quick to anger outbursts. I thought I would see a lot of slow activity, especially on the right, but that wasn't there. Some slow on the left, and really low coherences all over, in both theta and alpha. Train coherence up at P sites? ( it was the lowest there with eyes closed 13%). Will this then generalize to other alpha sites?
