Bosl is a computational scientist who focuses on clinical neurophysiology and neurodiagnostics. He has developed expertise in analyzing brain"electrodynamics"—not brain waves themselves, but signals and patterns extracted from EEGs that give insights into brain organization and functioning.
Bosl and Bosquet Enlow found that EEG signals at age seven most robustly distinguished children with an anxiety disorder from healthy controls. However, there were signals even at three and five years of age. Recordings from two or three time points gave much better results than the age seven recordings alone.
The study also looked at EEG patterns in children with externalizing disorders like ADHD or oppositional defiant disorder. Patterns were distinct from both those in children with anxiety and those in healthy controls. The conditions could be detected as early as ages three and five, especially with two or three recordings rather than a single snapshot.Bosl and Bosquet Enlow are now following the children to age 13, since adolescence is a time of enhanced risk for anxiety.
