Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the electrophysiological differences between alcoholic and control subjects using two different approaches namely complexity and energy (power) analyses. The electroencephalogram data used in this study were recorded from 77 alcoholic and 44 control subjects while the subjects were performing delayed matching to sample object recognition task for three types of stimuli. These were a single stimulus and a second matching or nonmatching stimulus that followed the single stimulus after a delay. The experimental paradigm evokes object recognition, visual short-term memory, and decision-making abilities. The results indicated that all regions (i.e. frontal, central, temporal, parietal, and occipital) in the brain exhibit more complexity and less energy for alcoholic subjects as compared to controls. When different visual stimuli pairs were compared among alcoholic and control subjects, the results from energy analysis showed groupwise differences in occipital and parietal regions. These results provide a strong indication on the impairment in brain's electrophysiological activity for alcoholic subjects due to a history of long-term alcohol abuse. © 2008 Imperial College Press.
