Stability of resting frontal electroencephalographic asymmetry in depression.

Test-retest stability of resting EEG alpha asymmetry in 30 depressed women at
4-wk intervals exhibited modest stability over 8- and 16-week intervals. However
changes in asymmetry scores were not related to changes in clinical state,
severity.
