Improving the Specificity of EEG for Diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease

Figure 5

Boxplot comparison of the time-frequency activity between the time-frequency representation and its sparse bump representation. The center line is the median, the box represents the interquartile range, whiskers represent nonoutlier observations, and cross indicates outliers. * and ** indicate significant ( ) and very significant ( ) differences. (The relative power appears larger than in lower ranges. This is due to the topography of the wavelet maps (because we used steps of 1 Hz instead of using logarithmic scales). If we resize those values taking into account the size of the ranges, we obtain the same values and classification results, with a lower power in the beta range as compared to low frequency ranges.)
