Correlation Between EEG Band Power and Behavioral Performance Based on Dichotic Listening Task

Previous studies on personnel selection focused more on the cognitive processing of visual information, and it is urgent to pay more attention to auditory information. Ten young male subjects participated in a dichotic listening task, and 64 channel EEG data were recorded simultaneously. The correlation coefficients between delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma band power and behavioral data in attention task were calculated. The results showed that the total distance and standard deviation of the reaction time of both ears are target stimulus, the left target and right non-target and the average reaction time were relatively larger. Delta and theta band power are dominant in frontal area, while alpha band power is dominant in temporal and occipital area. TP7-beta, CB2-alpha and O2-alpha were significantly correlated with the above three behavioral indicators (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the reaction time and the related EEG band power data in dichotic listening task could be used as potential indicators to evaluate auditory attention ability.
