Text

A normative database was used. Exclusion criteria were known psychiatric or neurological illness, psychiatric history of drug/alcohol abuse in a participant or any relative, current psychotropic/CNS active medications, history of head injury (with loss of consciousness) or seizures, headache, and physical disability. About 3–5 min of EEG was continuously recorded while participant sat with their eyes closed on a comfortable chair in a quiet and dimly lit room. EEG data were acquired at the 19 standard leads prescribed by the 10–20 international system (FP1, FP2, F7, F3, FZ, F4, F8, T3, C3, CZ, C4, T4, T5, P3, PZ, P4, T6, O1, O2) using both earlobes as reference and enabling a 60 Hz notch filter to suppress power line contamination. The resistance of all electrodes was kept below 5 kΩ. Data of the BRL database were acquired using the 12-bit A/D BSA acquisition system (Neurometrics, Inc., New York, NY) and sampled at 100 Hz. For consistency, we subsequently up-sampled the BRL database to 128 Hz using a natural cubic spline interpolation routine (Congedo et al., 2002). We removed from all data
