Cognitive function assessment in young adult using trail making and stroop tests

Cortical network between brain regions is one of the topics that being investigated by
brain researchers. Methods that are used to investigate brain developments of
cognitive function include Partial Directed Coherence (PDC) and the power spectrum
of the brain activity. The purposes of this study were to determine the cortico-cortical
functional connectivity between brain regions using PDC and to investigate the power
spectrum of brain activity while performing cognitive function assessments. Twenty
healthy young adults, age between 20 to 30 years old, were asked to perform two
tasks/tests; Trail Making Test (TMTA-alphabet, TMTA-number, TMTB-mixed alphabets and
numerical) and Stroop Task. An electroencephalogram (EEG) machine was used to
record the brain signals, and the data were analyzed using PDC and Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT).Our findings showed that not only frontal area but temporal and
occipital area also generates information and the information was sent to various
scalp location. Theta frequency was significantly increased at frontal area while
gamma and high-gamma frequency bands were significantly increased at centroparieto-occipito-temporal
regions. All of these areas are associated with cognitive
function doing specific task.
