TABLE 1. Group Differences in Power and Cordance.

Mean (s.d.) absolute and relative power and cordance values at all locations are shown comparing CON and MDD subjects (with t-statistics and uncorrected 2-tail p-values). Only at the Fpz location did cordance differ between controls and all depressed subjects after a Bonferroni correction was applied; no significant differences were found at other electrode sites in any of the three measures.
