Indices Evaluating Predictions of Response Using Log Alpha Power and Log Alpha Asymmetry at Occipital Sites

Alpha Power Alpha Asymmetry Combined
Sensitivity a 72.7 63.6 83.3
Specificity b 57.5 71.4 67.7
Positive predictive value c 72.7 77.8 71.4
Negative predictive value d 57.1 55.6 80.0
a

Sensitivity = percentage of responders who were predicted to be responders.

b

Specificity = percentage of nonresponders who were predicted to be nonresponders.

c

Positive predictive value = response rate for patients who were predicted to be responders.

d

Negative predictive value = nonresponse rate for patients who were predicted to be nonresponders.
