Aim study was to assess QEEG and daily habits adolescents or without a clinical history (according answers screening questionnaire), identify differences, attempt explain them, find possible correlations. This cross-sectional included 89 adolescents; age 18–19 years at time study, including 24 males. 58 participant. All consenting subjects filled questionnaire underwent conventional 30 min examination. mean frequency (Hz) amplitude (µV) (absolute relative) beta (at F7and F8), theta C3 C4), alpha O1 O2) band points were analyzed. Results A comparison caffeine intake, mobile phone use cases versus controls showed no significant differences. statistically differences findings within freq-O1, freq-O2, freq-F7 ( P = 0.041, 0.003, 0.05, respectively) who had Conclusions There changes occipital regions left frontal region individuals It recommended perform more extensive statistical correlations between data should be targeted future researches, obtain clearer view relationship electrophysiology
