Correlations between EEG features and individuals’ smoking-related characteristics. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the association between EEG characteristics (relative EEG band powers and coherence) and individuals’ smoking history measures (cigarettes per day, FTND, and number of quit attempts). (A) Across smokers and past-smokers, individuals who have smoked more (or had smoked more in the past for past-smokers) showed lower theta band power, (B) but higher alpha coherence. (A) In addition, individuals who self-reported higher nicotine dependence (FTND score) showed lower theta band power, and who had more quit attempts showed higher theta power. Each dot represents an individual participant, and the color-coded lines are the regression line between the corresponding measures.
