Key findings
- Brain-activity ranking correlated with performance (rs = .586)
- Alpha power and delta coherence reflected anxiety and decision-making
Players on a Thai professional women's soccer team had QEEG recorded twice before a competition and once after. Alpha power, linked to anxiety, and delta coherence, linked to decision-making, related to their performance, and a ranking based on brain activity correlated moderately to well with average performance scores.
