Functional connectivity in burnout syndrome: a resting-state EEG study.

ABSTRACT: Chronic occupational stress is associated with a pronounced decline in emotional and cognitive functioning. Studies on neural mechanisms indicate significant changes in brain activity and changed patterns of event-related potentials in burnout subjects. This study presents an analysis of brain functional connectivity in a resting state, thus providing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms accompanying burnout syndrome. The sample consists of 49 burnout employees and 49 controls, matched by age, gender and occupation (M_age = 36.15, SD = 8.10; 59 women, 39 men). Continuous dense-array EEG data were collected from a 256-channel EEG system. The difference in functional connectivity between burnout and control subjects was tested in the eyes-closed (EC) and eyes-open (EO) conditio
