EEG markers in early life could help predict and diagnose anxiety

EEG signatures for anxiety?

Analyze EEG patterns associated with different subtypes of anxiety, such as social anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, and separation anxiety. These may have distinct signatures.
Look at EEG readings taken while showing children an anxiety-provoking stimulus (this study only analyzed resting EEGs).
Determine how to combine EEG findings with measures like behavioral data, maternal anxiety/depression, and environmental stressors to reliably predict child psychopathology risk as early in development as possible.
