Abstrakt: Objective standard assessment yet. This research focuses on resting-state alpha activity to identify cognition in MDD patients using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Methods: Ninety-two subjects were recruited: 44 patients with MDD and 48 healthy individuals as controls. Functional outcome and cognition were assessed using standardized instruments, and the EEG resting state signal of open and closed eyes was recorded. The comparison and correlation of cognitive levels with alpha power in the bilateral frontal region, bilateral central region, bilateral occipital region, and middle line was evaluated. Results: The relative alpha power in MDD group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Through correlation analysis, it was shown that the bilateral frontal and occipital alpha power of MDD patients in the closed-eyes state was positively correlated with information processing rate, verbal learning, working memory, and attention retention. The alpha power of the bilateral frontal region in the open-eyes state was positively correlated with information processing rate, working memory, and attention retention (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The research indicates that the changes in frontal and occipital alpha activities may be a promising neurophysiological indicator of cognitive level to diagnose and treat response prediction.
