Yield of EEG features as markers of disease severity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a pilot study.

Our results showed that beta-band power and microstate metrics may be good candidates of disease severity in ALS. Increased beta and longer microstate duration in clinically worse patients suggest a possible impairment of both motor and non-motor network activities to fast modify their status. This can be interpreted as an attempt in ALS patients to compensate the disability but resulting in an ineffective and probably maladaptive behavior.
