of alcoholism (SSAGA) [66] was administered to assess alcohol/substance use and related co-existing disorders and family history of these disorders. The vast majority of subjects were right-handed, with only a few who were either left-handed (5 in the AUD group and 2 in the CTL group) or bi-dexterous (2 in the AUD group and 1 in the CTL group). EEG, clinical and psychometric data were collected at the SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. Individuals with hearing/visual impairment, a history of head injury or moderate and severe cognitive deficits (< 21 on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) [67] were also excluded from the study. Informed consent was obtained from the participants and the research protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board (SUNY IRB approval ID: 266893).
