A REVIEW OF Q-EEG FUNCTION FOR STRESS SCREENING

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Stress is defined as a condition felt by someone where the demands exceed their abilities so that they can cause various kinds of reactions in the form of physiological, psychological and behavioral reactions.Continuous stress can lead to disorders and diseases (such as heart attack, depression and stroke), so stress conditions must be detected early. Mental health screening has mostly used measuring tools in the form of questionnaires. Quantitative Electroencephalogram (Q-EEG) can be an option in the future that has not been widely studied. The purpose of this review is to discuss the Q-EEG function that has been studied so far, to be used as a basic reference for stress screening using Q-EEG. This review was obtained from Pubmed and Google scholar, with the keywords stress, mental health, EEG, Q-EEG. From these studies it appears that most EEG or QEEG can be significantly used : PTSD, highly-stress, depresi,cognitive dysfunctions, therapy of anxiety and insomnia. In the REM study, not find significant differences in waking or NREM EEG spectral power of PI and GSC. Likewise in the stress study, there was no adequate research, except in high stress conditions (mothers with children RM). However, it appears that some studies have small samples and often have to add other instruments such as salivary cortisol, LORETA, fNIRS etc. Further research is needed with appropriate respondents and a sufficient number.
Key words : Q-EEG, stress, early detection, screening
