Key findings
- Coherence was highly reliable on average
- Reliability varied substantially across channel pairs
- Reliability should be factored into judging treatment change
A test-retest study of how reliable QEEG coherence measures are in eyes-closed resting EEG. Most channel pairs were highly reliable on average, but reliability varied considerably between channels, so the authors advise checking the reliability of the specific channels trained before judging neurofeedback results.
