Although studies examining the resting-state EEG activity of binge drinkers (Courtney and Polich, 2010; Correas et al., 2015; López-Caneda et al., 2017) are limited, binge drinkers showed neural oscillations similar to those observed in patients with AUDs. That is, binge drinkers had increased theta power (Correas et al., 2015; López-Caneda et al., 2017) and decreased alpha power (Correas et al., 2015) compared with the non-BD group. Also, in a study examining event-related theta power of binge drinkers and lighter drinkers, the higher the alcohol intake of binge drinkers, the lower the theta power during the visual targeting task (Correas et al., 2019). In other words, alternation of oscillation in binge drinkers was associated with worse performance on the visual targeting task.
