Abstract

The relationship of IQ (measured by WAIS and all its subscales) and EEG broad band spectral parameters were studied in 40 right-handed, male volunteers ranging in age from 20 to 25 years old. EEGs were recorded in 20 derivations during rest with eyes opened. The results obtained reveal positive and negative correlations with abundant frontal participation in all bands. Mean frequency data show a frequency shift in a very narrow range suggesting that more relations in narrow band could be achieved. These results highlight the need of psychological tests that measure more homogeneous abilities and finer measurement technique to reveal clearly explainable correlations and demonstrate that EEG recordings do reflect intellectual abilities.
