Abstract

We investigated the effects of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) on Alpha Spectral Power (ASP). Alpha power is highly correlated with the Default Mode Network, which plays a huge role in cognition, learning, and attention. We also monitored resting connectivity to better predict outcomes than task-based responses alone, since both are involved in atypical inhibitory function in children with FASD.
