Abstract
The use of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in clinical research and as a diagnostic tool requires operationally defined diagnostic criteria and objective EEG reporting. We studied the EEGs of 119 children with neuropsychiatric disorders, including childhood autism, aphasia, schizophrenia, and chronic multiple tics (Tourette syndrome). It was possible to discriminate between select populations on the basis of clusters of EEG findings, despite overall similarity on the normal-abnormal dimension. Examination of individual EEG parameters and sex differences suggests different pathways to similar behavioral phenotypes. EEG profiles may be related to differential patterns of disorganization of cerebral functioning in child psychiatric population.
