The functional significance of mu rhythms: translating "seeing" and "hearing" into "doing". (2005, background): “In more recent work, it has been argued that the central rhythm of infants and young children and the sensorimotor mu rhythm in adults have a functional relationship [39,40,85,136].”
Brain Activity of Young Children in Bangladesh Is Associated With Biopsychosocial Conditions at the Individual‐, Family‐, and Household‐Level (2026, unknown): “The negative association between psychosocial stimulation and mu alpha band power was unexpected given mu alpha typically increases with maturation (Marshall et al. 2002; Perego et al. 2016) and has been associated with higher levels of home stimulation in previous studies (Otero et al. 2003).”
Pediatric resting EEG collection, preprocessing, and analysis: A systematic review (2026, unknown): “One possible benefit of using relative power is that it is thought to control for individual differences, such as skull thickness and hair type, which can bias absolute power values (Benninger et al., 1984; Clarke et al., 2001; Marshall et al., 2002; Troller-Renfree et al., 2023).”
Resting-state periodic and aperiodic brain oscillations from birth to preschool years: Aperiodic maturity predicts developmental course (2026, unknown): “Studies have shown that infant and young child dominant frequencies fall into a frequency range between 3 and 12 Hz (Cellier, 2021; Schaworonkow and Voytek, 2021; Rico-Pic ´ o, 2023; Smith, 1938; Lindsley, 1939; Henry and Greulich, 1944; Marshall et al., 2002).”
The impact of a monthly unconditional cash transfer on child brain activity: A 4-year follow-up (2026, unknown): “As children progress through infancy and early childhood, lower-frequency theta power makes up relatively less of the EEG signal (decreasing relative power), while mid-to-higher-frequency bands increase (increasing relative power) (Cellier et al., 2021; Marshall et al., 2002).”
A meta-analysis of periodic and aperiodic M/EEG components in Parkinson’s disease (2025, unknown): “…et al. 2021; Chiang et al. 2011; Cragg et al. n.d.; Duffy et al. 1984; Freschl et al. 2022; Grandy et al. 2013; Klimesch 1999; Knyazeva et al. 2018; Marshall et al. 2002; Turner et al. 2023) typically peaking around 10 Hz on average in young adulthood (Turner et al. 2023) followed by a gradual…”
Resting state EEG classifies developmental status in three-year-old children (2025, unknown): “These studies have revealed changes in the peak frequency of alpha oscillations from infancy through to adolescence (Freschl et al., 2022; Marshall et al., 2002), as well as a general shift in the power spectrum of the EEG signal towards higher frequencies over time (Cellier et al., 2021; Perone et…”
Maturational changes in frontal EEG alpha and theta activity from infancy into early childhood and the relation with self-regulation in boys and girls (2024, methodology): “…examine the meaningful frequency boundaries of the alpha and theta rhythm, for instance by determining narrower frequency ranges (e.g., lower and upper bands) or defining the boundaries based on the individual peak frequencies (Klimesch et al., 2001; Marshall et al., 2002; Perone et al., 2018b).”
Alterations in aperiodic and periodic EEG activity in young children with Down syndrome (2024, unknown): “…activity changes; for example, the dominant alpha rhythm observed in adulthood (~10 Hz) initially occurs in the theta/low alpha range (~5 Hz) in infancy, and then gradually increases in amplitude and peak frequency with age (Wilkinson et al., 2024a; Marshall et al., 2002; Cellier et al., 2021).”
The development of aperiodic and periodic resting-state power between early childhood and adulthood: New insights from optically pumped magnetometers (2024, background): “…of peak alpha frequency is well-documented (e.g., (Cellier et al., 2021; Cragg et al., 2011; G ´ omez et al., 2017; A. T. Hill et al., 2022a; Marshall et al., 2002; McSweeney et al., 2023; Miskovic et al., 2015; Rodríguez-Martínez et al., 2017; Tr ¨ ondle et al., 2022)), and is thought to…”
