Key findings
- Slowed posterior rhythm and more theta tracked cognitive impairment
- Connectivity measures related to gait and freezing
- qEEG shifted with dopaminergic drugs and neuromodulation
- Standardisation needed before clinical use
This systematic review of 89 studies examined quantitative EEG in Parkinson's disease. EEG slowing was the most consistent marker of cognitive decline, connectivity measures linked to motor problems, and EEG changed with medication and neuromodulation including neurofeedback.
