Theta-Beta Ratios, Age, and Individual Peak Alpha Power in MIDUS
By Finley AJ, Angus DJ, van Reekum CM et al.
Theta-beta ratio (TBR) decreases with age and negatively predicts executive function, while theta increases with age and positively predicts executive function. This registration is specific to analyses of MIDUS2 initial baseline EEG data examining the role of theta and beta to age related differences in TBRs, and the potential influence of individual differences in peak alpha power to TBRs. UPDATE 06/01/2020: A math error was discovered in the description of how the TBR measures will be calculated. We will take the ratio of Theta and Beta power first, then log-normalize the subsequent ratio.
