Text

What ENIGMA‐EEG will be doing in the near future is to expand the investigations to increasingly complex EEG biomarkers and diving ever more deeply into the functioning brain. Ever increasing sample sizes will help us in finding more genetic variants affecting brain activity—most likely a growing set that includes both common and rare variants, as well as structural variation. The growing sample sizes, analyzed using harmonized protocols, should also increase our power to find significant genetic correlations with behavioral traits, and further our understanding of the effect of neurological, psychiatric, and other liability genes on brain function. We therefore call on additional cohorts with EEG and whole‐genome scans to join our effort. This can be done by simply emailing the first author (D.S.) or via the ENIGMA‐EEG website (http://enigma.ini.usc.edu/ongoing/enigma‐eeg‐working‐group/).
