Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to highlight preliminary research into the use of one electroencephalography (EEG) site (Cz) and 1 Hz bins to identify elite athletes during the assessment process. Eyes-open baseline data from several small groups of athletes (tennis, gymnastics) suggest that elite athletes have a dip in amplitude in very low frequencies and then an increased amplitude at 10 Hz in a single-site EEG spectral display, when compared with less successful teammates. Other clinical sites and research labs will need to replicate the reliability and value of this pattern. Three case studies demonstrate the potential for clinicians to use EEG information analyzed in 1 Hz bins to identify areas for clinical exploration. The authors suggest that the presentation of EEG data related to possible emotional issues makes it possible to discuss more quickly and directly any potential problem areas for athletes.
