Key findings

  • Resting EEG measures were reliable
  • Bayesian analysis supported no link with executive function

A large study of young adults testing whether resting-EEG measures (band power, ratios and asymmetry) reflect executive-function ability. Despite reliable EEG measures, the evidence favoured no relationship, challenging the common practice of reading these measures as signs of executive ability.
