State-of-the-Art Lectures, Invited Symposia, Keynote Addresses, Poster session: Sex differences in the relationship between intelligence and cortical activation
Several studies have reported negative associations between the whole cortex’s activity or even the whole brain’s activity under cognitive load and psychometric intelligence for men. In the present study the relationship between intelligence and spatiotemporal patterns of cortical activation during the performance of elementary cognitive tasks was examined for both sexes. In the EEG, the event-related desynchronization (ERD) was quantified, which can be interpreted as a correlate of cortical activation. The results reveal that lower IQ men show a comparatively more unspecific and stronger activation than higher IQ men. Remarkably, no such differences were found for women.
