EEG signatures of cognitive and social development of preschool children-a systematic review.

<h4>Background</h4>Early identification of preschool children who are at risk of faltering in their development is essential to ensuring that all children attain their full potential. Electroencephalography (EEG) has been used to measure neural correlates of cognitive and social developm...
